There is no such thing as wastewater.

We take the waters others write off, from oil & gas to mining to RO reject, and return them as a resource: process water for reuse.

PWR treats unconventional water, including produced, brackish, industrial and power generation, to agricultural and municipal reuse quality. In the field, today.

02 / The vision

In the West, water is power.

Everything we intend to build next is water-constrained.

  1. 01 · Power grid

    Thermoelectric generation and every increment of new grid capacity are cooled by water.

  2. 02 · Energy independence

    Each domestic barrel and megawatt arrives with produced water to manage.

  3. 03 · Data centers

    Compute is sited where water is available. Increasingly, it is not.

  4. 04 · Global economy

    Fabs, manufacturing and irrigated agriculture all bid for the same river.

03 / The arsenal

Technology agnostic.

Deploy a diverse arsenal of processes as needed.

Water is not one problem, so no single machine solves it. Processes are selected against your feed chemistry and your target spec, then sequenced and operated in-house.

  • Flagship

    A1 LSRRO

    Low-salt-rejection RO. Desalinates hypersaline brines on commercial membranes, no thermal plant.

    produced · hypersaline · brackish

  • A2 MBR

    Membrane bioreactor. Biology and solids separation in one compact stage.

    industrial · municipal · organics

  • A3 Next-gen adsorbents

    Selective capture of organics and trace contaminants that pass everything else.

    organics · trace contaminants

  • A4 Biocides / advanced oxidation

    Microbial control and radical chemistry ahead of the membranes.

    pretreatment · membrane protection

  • A5 Proprietary biology

    Biology tuned to a feed’s contaminant profile, run in contained systems, never released.

    contained systems · tuned per feed

  • System active On spec

    Treating

    OS Bearwolf OS

    The intelligence layer. Reads the water, sequences the arsenal, holds the product on spec.
