Salinity Solutions

Today marks the end of an excellent visit to our partners SQM in Chile. Tim Naughton and Liam Burlace have spent the last two weeks visiting with the team from #SQMLithiumVentures in Santiago and the SQM lithium research team in the Salar de Atacama and Antofagasta. We’d like to thank our hosts for organising a highly productive schedule, and also the Bristish Embassy who hosted a breakfast event to celebrate the Salinity-SQM partnership.  https://lnkd.in/ewfy8Kfb     Tim Naughton Liam Burlace MEng Maria de los Angeles Romo Pascale Farcas Robert Shepherd Mark Fones Gabriel Meruane Naranjo Hugo Fernando Giraldo Mejía Pablo Derpich Sofia Malbec De Vidts

Congratulations to GrowUp Farms for winning at the #NationalSustainabilityAwards, based on our project to reduce and recycle their wastewater.   https://lnkd.in/eeg2dXNa.   Key results from the trial:   Up to 98% of wastewater recovered  50-72% more energy efficient than modelled comparable desalination technologies  38% reduction in mains water usage  33% potential reduction in wastewater discharge  Potential to reduce GrowUp’s water-related operational costs by 32%.

Team Profile: Vena Jain Please join us in welcoming Vena Jain MSc, AMIChemE to the Salinity Solutions team. Vena is a 2023 MSc graduate in Water and Sustainable Development from IHE Delft Institute for Water Education in the Netherlands. Previously, she completed an Integrated Masters and Bachelors (MEng Hons) in Chemical Engineering from University of Bath, United Kingdom. She has studied and worked in European and Asian environments over the past 5 years. Despite growing up in a small, urbanized city in Northern India, most areas in her town continued to suffer with sporadic water supply. Thus, her desire to work in solving such real-world problems stems from her background and future interest in such real-world problems that align with her core beliefs. During her MSc studies, she actively explored the feasibility of various treatment technologies for the removal of PFAS in reverse osmosis membrane systems. Additionally, during her past work experiences and MEng degree, she participated in projects focused on innovative wastewater treatments related to resource recovery and emerging contaminants. Vena’s first project at Salinity will be on the analysis of water quality parameters for customer projects and exploring the limitations of our system, during lab and field trials.

SUEZ in town for HyBatch water reuse      Last week we were pleased to welcome our strategic partner @SUEZ Innovation Team (Paris), to see the progress on their HyBatch SAM1 system. Our hybrid batch reverse osmosis (RO) process has been scaled up and fine-tuned for municipal water reuse applications.     A visit to our Birmingham office was followed by a tour of the @Te-Tech Process Solutions workshop in Southampton where the HyBatch SAM1 unit is being assembled.      Once complete, the next generation RO rig will travel to the South of France for benchmarking against a standard RO at a full-scale wastewater treatment plant.     Further updates on the system build and installation will follow.     Flavia Zraick Julia Leroy Vincent ROUSSELIN Tim Naughton Steve Dunn Liam Burlace MEng Vena Jain MSc, AMIChemE Jonathan Grylls #WastewaterReuse #ReverseOsmosis #WaterRecycling #WaterInnovation #WaterReuse #WastewaterTreatment #SUEZ #SalinitySolutions #tetechprocesssolutions

What a week indeed. Great to be co-presenting with Te-Tech at the EWMC this week: https://lnkd.in/ewqf7TP8

We’re hugely proud to have won Water Efficiency Project of the Year at this year’s #WaterIndustryAwards, in partnership with GrowUp Farms. This comes after a successful water reuse trial at GrowUp's Pepperness vertical farm in Kent in January, supported by #TeTechProcessSolutions. Co-founders Tim Naughton and Liam Burlace were on hand to receive the award - the second WIA for Salinity, having scooped the Energy in Water category in 2023.
