Seawater Conversion
Use Cases
The need for usable water throughout the world is increasing exponentially. Persistent and worsening drought conditions, sea level rise, and coastal intrusion of salt water into groundwater, are just a few of the factors contributing to water shortages – locally and globally.
Badwater Alchemy is refining its scientific approach to purify unusable water for agricultural use – and eventual human consumption – in arid regions affected by drought. By using nano materials to remove sodium, chloride and other contaminants, BWA’s approach can transform saline aquifers into usable water for crop irrigation and livestock.
BWA’s modular, containerized design allows for easy deployment in shipping containers. The units can function remotely, as individual or combined desalination units, improving farming and sustainable crops.
As the scientific process continues to get refined, BWA’s eventual goal is to partner with government entities, INGO’s, global foundations and multilaterals to deploy scalable units near coastal regions, providing an economically viable approach for converting seawater into potable water.
How does it work?
BWA’s patented process leverages the physics of water to extract sodium, chloride and other contaminants using zero-valent iron.
