There is no such thing as wastewater.

Powering America's next generation of industry through intelligent water recovery.

PWR enables critical industries like power generation, oil and gas development, and critical mineral extraction to operate, expand, and thrive in a water constrained world.

Using next generation water technologies, we design and optimize water recovery systems that maximize uptime, minimize cost, and prepare industries for the future.

02 / The vision

Water = Power

For the industries defining the next 50 years of American progress, water is a critical component.

  1. 01 · Power generation

    Power plants need cooling water to run. ZLD requirements keep expanding, and discharge is getting harder to permit.

  2. 02 · Oil and gas

    Every barrel comes with water. Disposal wells are filling up, costs are climbing, and regulators want that water recycled.

  3. 03 · Mining

    Mines need water to process ore, and water holds up more projects than the ore does.

  4. 04 · Data centers

    Data centers need water for cooling, and they are being built in places that do not have it.

03 / The arsenal

Technology agnostic.

Deploy a diverse arsenal of processes as needed.

Water is not one problem, so no single machine solves it. Processes are selected against your feed chemistry and your target spec, then sequenced and operated in house.

  • Flagship

    A1 LSRRO

    Low salt rejection RO. Desalinates hypersaline brines on commercial membranes, no thermal plant.

  • A2 MBR

    Membrane bioreactor. Biology and solids separation in one compact stage.

    industrial · municipal · organics

  • A3 Next gen adsorbents

    Selective capture of organics and trace contaminants that pass everything else.

  • A4 Biocides / advanced oxidation

    Microbial control and radical chemistry ahead of the membranes.

    pretreatment · membrane protection

  • A5 Proprietary biology

    Biology tuned to a feed’s contaminant profile, run in contained systems, never released.
