We provide advanced, sustainable wastewater treatment solutions at industrial scale to remove soluble heavy metals, enable water reuse and recovery of valuable materials, and support environmental goals. Industrial application of the EPSE™ Method begins with an End-User License Agreement (EULA) that grants access to the patented chemical process, including EPSE™ chemical delivery and technical support, and is then realized through a retrofit or greenfield project.
Our technological solution:
- simplifies wastewater treatment compared to traditional methods, ensures higher treated water quality, reduces capital and operational expenditure, and dramatically cuts environmental impact compared to conventional multi-step methods
- is engineered for adaptability and is suitable for batch or continuous operations, enabling flexible design of treatment plants using the technology.
Process built around the EPSE™ Method
At the core of our process is the EPSE™ Method, a proprietary and patented chemical treatment process that safely removes soluble heavy metals from wastewater in a single treatment stage, and is scalable to any capacity. Our technology transforms complex industrial and mining wastewater streams into clean, reusable water and environmentally safe by-products, helping clients meet regulatory limits, reduce operating costs, and advance circular economy objectives. In best case scenarios treatment can be performed in a compact, enclosed process with minimal footprint. In cases where wastewater generates heat or gases when neutralized, open systems and vapor removal are used.
Application Areas
We support clients across sectors where metal contamination is a challenge, including:
- Mining & mineral processing
- Metal finishing & surface treatment
- Chemical manufacturing
- Power generation
- Oil & gas
- Automotive & aerospace
- Energy & utilities
Choosing the right approach for industry operators
Scale-up from pilot
Once the efficiency of the EPSE™ Method is validated in a pilot project, the next step is typically a feasibility study or basic engineering to assess options, costs and system requirements for a full-scale solution. Based on the outcomes of these studies, detailed engineering, commercial agreements (such as the EULA and supply contracts) and procurement for an EPSE treatment system follow. The project then moves into installation, commissioning and optimization, leading into full operation and ongoing technical support.
Upgrading an existing treatment system
Due to the simplicity of the EPSE™ Method, existing treatment infrastructure can be retrofitted with minimal investment to meet higher performance targets by adjusting the chemical treatment recipe and introducing EPSE™ chemicals into the system. Legacy treatment systems can often be made ready for EPSE treatment without the need for structural changes.
Retrofitting is most economical in plants that already use lime precipitation, in particular if online pH control is already installed. In these cases it may be enough to add a preparation and dosing unit for EPSE™ chemical. EPSE process in typical cases does not need specialized vessels and compared to traditional methods the equipment requirements are lower. Retrofit projects begin with on-site assessment of existing equipment and through planning of required additions, if any. Compared to greenfield cases retrofits can in best case scenarios be much faster to implement after pilot phase.
Customized Greenfield solutions
For new sites and cases where existing infrastructure is outdated or limiting performance, EPSE process offers highest quality at competitive investment and simplicity of operation. In greenfield projects the delivery of the EPSE treatment process is typically fitted into an existing main plant construction project.
