01 — THE PROBLEM

Two Crises. Connected at the Source.

💧 THE WATER CRISIS
750M gallons of toxic brine injected underground daily in Texas
45,000+ earthquakes linked to injection since 2000
$6.8B annual disposal costs (Permian Basin)
57% of TX irrigation water at risk by 2070
SAME SOURCE
🔋 THE ENERGY CRISIS
95% of Sodium-Ion battery capacity controlled by China
Coal Chinese soda ash production is coal-based
$0 US domestic Green Sodium production
2030 Sodium-Ion projected to dominate grid storage

"The same toxic brine destroying Texas aquifers contains the feedstock for American energy independence. We don't choose which crisis to solve. We solve both."

02 — THE SOLUTION

One System. Two Transformations.

We take toxic brine and produce clean water AND battery-grade sodium precursors. Zero waste. Renewable powered.

03 — HOW IT WORKS

8 Stages. Zero Waste. Dual Output.

MINERAL
STAGE 1
Pre-Treatment
Remove Fe, SiO₂, TSS
→ Road base material
→

STAGE 2
Lithium DLE
Adsorption columns
→ Li₂CO₃ (batteries)
→
MINERAL
STAGE 3
Bromine
Oxidation tower
→ Br₂ (flame retardants)
→
MINERAL
STAGE 4
Bulk Minerals
pH precipitation
→ Mg(OH)₂ + CaCO₃
WATER
STAGE 5
Water Recovery
RO + ERD (87%+)
→ Pure H₂O returned
→
MINERAL
STAGE 6
Crystallization
MVR system
→ KCl + NaCl brine
→
ENERGY
STAGE 7
Chlor-Alkali
Electrolysis (wind/solar)
→ NaOH + Cl₂
→
ENERGY
STAGE 8
Carbonation
CO₂ capture + reaction
→ Na₂CO₃ (soda ash)
💧

Water Output

600M+ gallons pure water daily at scale. Equivalent to 7.3M people's drinking water.

🔋

Sodium Output

6.4M tons NaOH + Na₂CO₃ annually. Primary US feedstock for grid storage batteries.

04 — MARKET OPPORTUNITY

Two Markets. One Entry Point.
