Industrial Desalination
A low-energy alternative to reverse osmosis for industrial water source and recovery.
Selective ion migration
Our industrial platform applies the natural principle of ion displacement and attraction between opposite charges to separate salts from water with minimal energy input.
Through bio-inspired membranes
Using specific ion-exchange membranes and gentle electrical pulses, Waipura separates sodium and chloride without the need for high
pressure. It offers an efficient and sustainable desalination solution for oil, mining, and utilities.
Inspired by Nature
Permanent ionic exchanges make minerals and H2O available to be absorbed by plants.
Our technology provides a high-affinity calcium solution that naturally displaces sodium (Na⁺) and chloride (Cl⁻) from water molecules.
The roots attract, absorb, and selectively release the minerals they need through an electric gradient.
Ion exchange membranes then mimic reticular absorption and selectively allow Na⁺ and Cl⁻ to pass through
This process is driven by the sun, which, through its ionic emission, propels the movement of nutrients.
Electrodes generate gentle electric pulses that facilitate the migration of Na⁺ and Cl⁻ without breaking the water molecule.
