OUR SOLUTION
Beyond Membranes: Low Cost Desalination for the Toughest Brines
Our patented membrane-less, non-evaporative solvent extraction technology selectively absorbs and releases freshwater from most extreme brines. The result is a scalable, sustainable, energy-efficient, and cost-effective process that can handle brines across the salinity spectrum, with customizable water recovery up to Zero Liquid Discharge.
01
Absorb: Our proprietary solvent selectively absorbs freshwater molecules - leaving salts, contaminants, and minerals behind. No pre-treatment, no membranes, no evaporation.
02
Release: A gentle temperature change causes the solvent to release freshwater, allowing the solvent to be regenerated and reused. The result: clean, usable water plus a concentrated brine rich in valuable minerals for recovery.
CETOS TECHNOLOGY
Built for Impact
Our mission
Rethinking Desalination: From waste stream to water supply. From liability to resource.
Our versatile, low-cost desalination platform reduces the environmental impact of disposal while unlocking reliable water recovery — even from the most challenging streams.
Lowest OPEX
Our minimal energy requirement and automated operations offer the lowest opex of any desalination technology
Lowest CAPEX
Our low thermal footprint side-steps the need for expensive anti-corrosive materials or costly maintenance disruptions, delivering the lowest CapEx with simple, off-the-shelf components
Performance Guarantee
Our methodical approach to testing and analysis allows us to provide a pass-through guarantee for solvent recovery, water product quality, and system flow rate.
Modular
Our process operates from a modular foundational design and leverages offsite assembly, minimizing site disruption.

World leaders in water treatment
Working with best-in-class engineers and researchers, we have developed the first cost-effective “purpose-driven” desalination system, specifically designed to tackle complex water challenges.
Through scalable recycling and reuse, we dramatically increase fresh water allocation, prioritizing it for drinking.
