AREAS OF INNOVATION

Brine
Treatment

Brines are highly concentrated saline waste streams generated as by-products of desalination and a range of industrial activities. These include processes such as mining, petrochemical production, and certain manufacturing operations.

Hypersaline brines, which have salinity levels significantly higher than seawater, frequently pose greater challenges due to their complex chemistry and the environmental considerations associated with their management and disposal.

At Nexus, we recognise the critical role of effective brine management. As part of our integrated water solutions, we collaborate with specialist alliance partners who are leaders in the manufacture and supply of advanced brine treatment technologies. This collaborative approach enables us to deliver comprehensive, end-to-end solutions that address both conventional water treatment and the more complex challenges associated with brine and hypersaline brine streams.

Our alliance partners deploy proven thermal, high-pressure, and low-pressure treatment technologies that are tailored to meet the specific needs of each application. These solutions focus on reducing brine volumes, recovering valuable resources where feasible, and ensuring compliance with stringent environmental standards.

By integrating these brine treatment capabilities with our adaptive data platform and process optimisation capabilities, Nexus offers a seamless pathway to sustainable, efficient water management across diverse industrial sectors.
