Target sectors
Six sectors where the technical and commercial case is strongest.
Hydrovolta qualifies every project before recommending SonixED™. The sectors below represent where the combination of groundwater chemistry, brine disposal constraints, and regulatory drivers creates the strongest alignment with Hydrovolta’s capabilities.
01
Municipal utilities & public authorities
Brackish wells with salinity, nitrate, hardness, or seawater intrusion. Selective ion removal addresses nitrate compliance without full demineralisation. EU Groundwater Directive compliance deadline December 2027 creates near-term procurement urgency.
Water security, compliance, lower brine burden.
02
Large-scale agriculture & irrigation
Saline irrigation water degrades soil structure and reduces crop yield. SonixED™ removes sodium and excess TDS while retaining calcium and magnesium beneficial to soil chemistry. High recovery minimises water waste in arid agricultural geographies. Active in Morocco.
Crop yield, soil health, water availability.
03
Industrial process water
Food & beverage and pharmaceutical processes require consistent water quality. SonixED™ delivers configurable, consistent output with near-ZLD brine management to meet tightening discharge permit constraints.
Product quality, discharge compliance, OPEX.
04
Mining & resource extraction
High-volume process water and concentrated wastewater streams with high TDS and hardness. SonixED™ addresses treatment. Downstream valorization adds selective mineral recovery from concentrated streams where brine chemistry supports it.
Discharge reduction, mineral recovery, compliance.
05
Desalination plant operators
Existing seawater RO operators with concentrated brine streams facing increasing disposal pressure. Hydrovolta offers a pilot assessment pathway to evaluate selective chemical recovery from suitable brines — converting disposal cost into recoverable value.
Brine disposal cost, regulatory pressure, chemical revenue.
06
Remote communities & distributed sites
SalinBloc™ containerised units deploy to remote sites with full cloud telemetry and autonomous operation. No specialist operator required on-site. Islands, remote agricultural communities, construction operations, and distributed supply.
Water security, deployment flexibility, autonomous operation.
