TEHP Desalination & Water Recovery

TEHP systems convert high-salinity and produced water streams into usable supply through a thermochemical treatment process designed to eliminate liquid brine discharge under validated testing conditions.

Validated zero liquid discharge under tested conditions — no liquid brine stream.

Key Validated Outcomes

  • Zero liquid discharge observed during validation testing — contaminants removed as dry solid residuals
  • ~78% water recovery demonstrated under test conditions — exceeding typical reverse osmosis performance
  • ~0.94 kWh/m³ energy consumption in testing — significantly lower than conventional desalination benchmarks
  • Removal of PFAS, heavy metals, BTEX, and ammonia demonstrated under laboratory validation

Produced Water Is an Operating Challenge

Produced water is not just a byproduct—it is an ongoing operational constraint which impacts disposal strategy, infrastructure, and overall cost.

  • Ongoing dependence on saltwater disposal
  • High salinity and complex water chemistry
  • Infrastructure and logistics constraints
  • Increasing pressure to improve reuse

How It Works

TEHP is designed to recover usable water from high-salinity and complex source streams, including produced water, brine, and industrial wastewater. The process uses thermal-driven separation rather than relying solely on conventional high-pressure membrane systems, supporting water recovery and concentrate reduction under validated testing conditions.

Where TEHP Fits

Membrane systems are prone to fouling and scaling, especially in high-salinity environments.

Thermal systems require significant energy input and can increase operating costs.

Liquid brine disposal remains a major constraint for many water treatment approaches.

TEHP is designed to address these limitations by enabling water recovery without the typical membrane and brine management burdens.

Built for Produced Water and Industrial Use

TEHP is applied in environments where water quality, salinity, or disposal constraints make conventional treatment approaches more difficult to sustain. The system is typically evaluated based on feedwater characteristics, recovery targets, and site-specific operating conditions.

Produced Water (Oil & Gas)

Designed for treatment of high-salinity produced water streams where conventional systems face recovery and disposal challenges.

Disposal Volume Reduction

Supports reduction of liquid waste volumes, helping operators manage disposal costs and constraints more effectively.

Water Reuse for Operations

Enables recovery of usable water for on-site operations, supporting reduced freshwater demand under appropriate conditions.

Industrial Wastewater

Applicable to complex industrial streams with elevated TDS, scaling potential, or variability that can limit conventional treatment approaches.
