Richmond-based Saltworks Technologies Inc. makes waves to address industrial wastewater and lithium processing challenges

Protecting freshwater resources and transitioning to clean energy are global challenges.

Saltworks’ advanced technologies help to reuse water, keep our environment safe from pollutants in industrial wastewater, and produce lithium for use in batteries.

This benefits businesses, communities, and the environment by providing cleaner, safer water, and accelerating the transition to electric vehicles.

Saltworks’ technologies treat the most challenging wastewaters with low total costs and environmental footprints by focusing on recycling, reusing, removing specific contaminants, and concentrating brine for minimal and zero liquid discharge.

Their technologies are also effective in upgrading low-grade lithium sources to produce battery-grade lithium chemicals.

$2.5M in PacifiCan funding helped Saltworks achieve incredible results, including:

• commercializing multiple new product lines
• creating 56 high-quality jobs
