UPWAVES™ - Used Process Water And Volume Elimination Solutions
The term ‘wastewater’ is a misnomer. Water should not be categorized as being wasted, it is too precious and valuable a resource. Instead, water that becomes contaminated and loaded with materials resulting from an industrial process, is just used, and it can be reused, again and again.
UPWAVES™, is the water equvalent to 'upcycling':
Upcycling (up·cy·cle), also known as creative reuse, is the process of transforming by-products, waste materials, useless, or unwanted products into new materials or products of better quality or for better environmental value.
In order to minimize trucking & hauling (very costly and produces lot of green-house gas emissions) of heavily contaminated water and allow industrial water users the option for reuse/recycling, two of natures most marvelous processes are put to work: evaporation & crystallization.
In order to generate maximum UPWAVES™ at your plant or facility, Zero Effluent Discharge, or more popularly known as 'ZLD' from an industrial facility or complex, evaporation & crystallization can be applied, whereby generating a freshwater stream and a high solids sludge, that can be land-filled, incinerated, or sent for further refinement if there are valuable, recoverable materials present.
Saltworks Technlogies Inc. has optimized the combination of evaporation & crystallization, to enable a low energy, robust and modular ZLD systems:

Project Development
If you have a heavily contaminated water stream, resulting from any production processes, then you are a potential candidate to benefit from UPWAVES. There are a few factors that we can look at with you to identify the viability of pursuing a Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) or Zero Effluent Discharge, therefore, we are pleased to work with you in developing a cost benefit analysis, identify the savings you could gain from less frequent and smaller volume of by-product that would have to be trucked off site.
