Advanced membranes and innovative filtration systems for the production of valuable minerals and clean water
Watercycle Technologies Ltd is a UK-based deep tech company focused on developing sustainable, high-yield, low-cost, mineral extraction and water treatment systems.
Able to treat highly concentrated water, its core technology spans mineral extraction, concentration, and crystallisation. This is initially being utilised for primary lithium production from sub-surface waters and industrial brines. In addition, the company is specialising in the recycling of spent lithium-ion batteries, which is essential for enabling the transition towards a Circular Economy.
Direct Lithium Extraction
The company’s strategy is to leverage its deep technology IP to develop and commercialise mineral extraction and water purification systems.
Strategy
With a focus on sustainability, environmental protection, and remediation, as well as cost efficiency and reduced carbon emissions, the team is developing critical applications that can filter and clean water across multiple industries, producing saleable and valuable commodities such as lithium and other high-value metals in the process.
The EV Transport
Revolution
A critical element of the transition to Net Zero is the electrification of transport and the use of lithium-ion batteries.
Our direct lithium extraction and crystallisation (DLEC) technology can sustainably, and cost effectively produce lithium carbonate to supply this accelerating transition, improving the environmental credentials of industry participants.
The future of
economics
Earth’s natural resources are finite and the need for recycling is ever more evident.
Sustainability means more than just transitioning to renewable energy. To maintain a balanced planet and adhere to climate change protocols the world needs to de-carbonise and all resources used must be renewable. Watercycle is focused on creating a circular economy.
Water, the most valuable commodity
71% of earth’s surface is covered by water and yet, less than 1% of this is suitable for human consumption.
Our technology can treat even the most complex water, extract valuable commodities from it and most importantly, make it drinkable. Our model means that we can filter/desalinate water and assist in tackling global water scarcity in all its forms.
