Aquafortus

Aquafortus Technologies is a New Zealand-based deep-tech water treatment company that develops patented non-thermal, zero-liquid-discharge (ZLD) desalination technology for high-salinity industrial brines. Its ABX system uses a solvent-extraction and membrane-filtration process at ambient temperatures to turn up to 98% of high-salinity brine into fresh water while using significantly less energy than thermal alternatives, and can expose, isolate and extract valuable metals and minerals (lithium, copper, magnesium salts and others) from the treated brine. The company targets cooling towers, mining, oil and gas, inland desalination, flue-gas desulphurisation and other high-volume, high-salinity industrial processes. Aquafortus is backed by deep tech venture firm DCVC and Novo Holdings, and was added to the API Evangelist network as a portfolio-lead stub; it publishes no public API or developer surface.

Aquafortus is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Water Treatment, Desalination, Cleantech, and Zero Liquid Discharge.

Aquafortus’ developer surface includes engineering blog, support, and 2 more developer resources.
