WATER & WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT
The new concept represents major progress in water treatment technology
PROGRESS INPURIFICATION Introducing a new approach to water treatment that is soon to be commercialised S
alinity Solutions, an engineering tech start-up, has partnered with leading water process solutions manufacturer, Te-Tech Process
Solutions, to produce custom water treatment units featuring its novel water purification technology. Te technology, which has been hailed by the company as the “most significant advancement in water treatment in 50 years”, uses batch reverse osmosis to deliver significant advantages over traditional reverse osmosis methods. Te technology is applicable to over 20 sectors globally, including healthcare, industrial waste, mineral extraction and food processing. Conventional reverse osmosis technology is notoriously energy- intensive, consuming 4% of the world’s

total electricity production. However, Salinity Solutions’ technology offers a more sustainable and environmentally friendly approach that reduces both carbon footprint and operating costs. Te batch reverse osmosis technology
uses 50% less energy, purifies up to 98% of water, generates 80% less waste than traditional methods, and is compact and easily transportable. Te first batch RO product, SAM50, will be manufactured commercially by Te-Tech.
The system is highly energy-efficient
ENGINEERING EXPERTISE Salinity Solutions was co-founded by Tim Naughton, who developed the technology while studying mechanical engineering at Aston University and later at the University of Birmingham alongside Professor Philip Davies, head of Water Technology Research. Naughton co-founded Salinity Solutions in 2021 to commercialise a more sustainable, energy- efficient solution for water treatment, in a world where 80% of wastewater is released
