Aquafortus

The cutting-edge water technology business Aquafortus Technologies Limited has created the ABXTM, a new non-thermal liquid to liquid crystallizer that converts wastewater brine to dry salt and clean water. In order to achieve zero liquid discharge (ZLD), almost all of the water in the wastewater must be recovered before the residual waste may be shovelled onto a truck for disposal. Government laws throughout the world that forced extremely polluting and water-intensive sectors to become ZLD or risk huge fines and eventually closure have caused the ZLD market to grow quickly.
