the recycling of seawater brines resulting from any desalination method.

IES is a member of the European Desalination Society.

The company employs high-qualified specialists and important scientists (doctors, professors,
academicians).

I.E.S. is the first and the only company in the world that invented developed and produced a
unique environmentally – friendly economical advanced technology for recycling the seawater
waste brine discharges resulting from the desalination process. By attaching such a technology to
any existing desalination plant, the whole seawater desalination system is converted into an
ecological zero-discharge system, high-purity table salt and other valuable minerals are extracted
from the brine and the output of drinking water (meeting the high “WHO” standards) is doubled.

This is the first time in the human history that such a technology is discovered and successfully
developed and ready to serve humanity, environment and industry. ​

Seawater Brine Recycling

ZERO-DISCHARGE RECYCLING, our scientifically-proven ecological profitable solution to the

worldwide seawater desalination problem of harmful waste brines resulting from the seawater

desalination process

I.E.S. developed a new technology of zero-discharge complex recycling of the concentrated brine

resulting from any seawater desalination process. The technology allows the recycling of brines

with receiving high-quality drinking water and valuable minerals, such as table salt, magnesium

chloride, magnesium-sulphate, potassium chloride, gypsum and other more valuable minerals such

as lithium. We have successfully developed and tested units showing all the mentioned steps and

aspects of our technology.

Our technology does not require any chemical adding and is totally safe, ecological for the

environment. It is also profitable because the salt and minerals received during the recycling

process are in commercial quantities. Our technology can be attached to any existing desalination

plant and can operate with any desalination plant capacity.

All the seawater desalination technologies which are used nowadays (using the methods of the

reverse osmosis, thermal distillation, electrodialysis, their combination or others) are very needed

technologies for the human civilization, unfortunately they are not environmentally friendly and

produce harmful brine discharges with salt contents of about 50-60 g/l, which are thrown in the

coastal areas, gradually killing the natural maritime faunae and flora and causing other serious

environmental hazards. Such brines are waste products, because there is no economic use of

them. On the contrary, seawater brines with salts’ concentration more than 150 g/l are a valuable

raw-material, suitable for their processing into salts’ products. However, with the existing

desalination methods alone it is impossible to receive brines with such a high concentration level

because of the “calcium barrier” . The problem is that in the seawater there are large amounts of

calcium salts, which simply form sediment if the concentration of the brine in the desalination plant

is higher than 65 g/l.

The I.E.S technology of complex recycling of brines provides the solution to this problem.

The key element of our Technology is the Self-Sustaining Process of deep decalcination (softening)

of the brines. The Self-Sustaining Process of deep softening is performed in a cycle regime – while

one group of columns with sorbents works in the regime of calcium sorption, the saturated sorbent

from the second column group is regenerating and vice-versa. The sorbents are produced in such a

manner that concentrated natrium chloride brine obtained in the result of desalination is enough for
the recovery of their sorption capacity, i.e. the process does not require any chemical reagents or

any energy input . After such a unique pre-treatment, the brines are passed to the thermal

distillation unit, thus we receive separately the drinking water and the highly concentrated (180 g/l

TDS) tail brines. The highly concentrated brines are passed further again through the self-

sustaining system and become ready for recovery of valuable mineral by-products (such as

gypsum, high-purity table salt, magnesium-potassium liquid concentrates), the final process takes

place in the crystallization chamber to receive dry products. The whole process is automatic.

Our complex technology of recycling the seawater brines resulting from desalination is doubling the

output of drinking water from any existing desalination plant to which our system is attached;

secondly, it allows receiving the valuable raw-materials of the same quality as that of the unique

natural brines on which the chemical industry of obtaining mineral salts is based. Our technology

represents a revolutionary new ecological – economical approach to make all the traditional

seawater desalination industry totally ecological, since it does not produce any liquid discharge into

the sea. The attaching of our recycling technology to any existing desalination plant makes it a

“Two-in-One” unit, providing the doubling of drinking water production and the receiving of valuable

dry minerals in commercial quantities.

“We are proud to introduce and provide our recycling solution to the
desalination industry era.”

If we attach our seawater brine recycling technology to a small already existing RO plant with a

capacity of producing 528 cubic meter of drinking water per day (that is 22 m3/h) that throws back

to the sea 960 cubic meter of harmful concentrated waste brines per day (that is 40 m3/h), the

following benefits are obtained:

This plant is transformed into a zero-discharge ecological plant , i.e. no discharge of any harmful

pollutant is thrown back to the sea;

Drinking water output is more than double:

528 cubic meters per day of drinking water is coming from the RO desalination plant

600 cubic meters per day of drinking water is coming from our attached recycling system

Total: 1128 cubic meters per day – output of drinking water from both systems

commercial amounts of high-purity table salt and other valuable minerals are extracted :2160

kg/day of Gypsum, 50400 kg/day of Table salt and 10080 kg/day of Magnesium – Potassium

concentrate, nevertheless some other combinations and arrangements for receiving other

minerals can be also successfully achieved.

Here is an example to understand better our recycling technology. (Please note, this is

just an example, our recycling technology can be attached to any technology of

seawater desalination and to any plant capacity without any limitation.)

SAVE THE EARTH

Communication between all living levels continually occurs via the mechanism
contained in E.T. Whittaker (Cambridge 1903, 1904) two papers: enfolding external
EM at one level into internal EM at the next lower level and outfolding EM at one
internal level to the next outer externalized level, this means all life on the planet is
completely intercommunicative and intracommunicative. In simple words: THE
EARTH IS A LIVING BEING and we must STOP polluting it.
