What Problem We are Solving
Problem
Seawater represents an abundant and climate-resilient source of freshwater - however, freshwater produced from desalinated seawater costs 2-4x MORE than natural sources of freshwater. This is because desalination plants do not efficiently produce freshwater:
Only 50% of plant seawater intake becomes freshwater - the rest is waste
1200 PSI limit is the current equipment constraint to efficient freshwater production
About Us
About Us
We've developed a reverse-osmosis centrifuge that utilizes centripetal accelerations to efficiently increase the pressure of a desalination plants (pressurized) waste-stream to produce more freshwater (that would otherwise be treated as waste). By increasing the amount of freshwater generated, without modifications to the existing equipment-train, we can double plant profitability.
We have developed an in-lab prototype to demonstrate proof-of-concept. We're currently working with Carlsbad Desalination Plant, PUB Singapore, Navajo Nation and more on MVP pilot tests in order to establish early-adopter/customer relationships.
Venture Highlights
Highlights
A few key highlights:
Developed and tested 40GPM prototype (in-lab)
Demonstrated our ability to produce 40% more freshwater at 1.5KWh/m3 (industry target is 3KWh)
Received signed LOI from Carlsbad Desalination Plant expressing their interest in piloting our technology in Q1 2024
Working with Director of Water Research for NEOM to fund our pilot with the Carlsbad Desalination Plant
Received signed LOI from H20 Innovations (publicly traded) expressing their interest in selling and distributing our 40GPM system after a successful pilot test
Designing and developing a sustainably powered/off-grid micro-brackish water treatment plant for the Chilchinbeto Chapter of the Navajo Nation
Business Model
Business Model
B2B Hardware. We're currently working with our advisors to completely develop a commercial leasing model. This model will utilize data from multiple pilots to synthesize a model that extracts the most amount of value, without interference with our commitment to pipe-parity.
Competitive Advantage
Quote
We have pending design and utility (protecting the technology's placement and utilization in desalination plants). We're working with the world's top leading experts in SWRO desalination, and we have pending pilot agreements and LOI's with some of the world's largest plants/consumers of SWRO technology. We're also in the process of designing a sustainably powered water treatment plant on the Navajo Nation, for the purposes of providing potable water to the Chilchinbeto Chapter.
We care about the future of water, and the overuse of our existing natural sources of freshwater - we're ready to go, and are only waiting for the right investor-partner that shares our mission and vision.

Go-To Market Strategy
Business Strategy
Because our system will be integrated into core desalination plant infrastructure, at least two rounds of on-site system testing are required (per the request of our pilot partners and future early adopters). Eden Technologies plans to test a small (40GPM) MVP system with our pilot partners, which will lead into a large (400+GPM) MVP system with those same partners. Both systems will be designed to be commercially viable, and both will be a part of our product offering for micro-desalination and macro-desalination plants. Eden Technologies has a signed LOI from H2O Innovations (publicly traded) that expresses their interest in selling and distributing our initial 40GPM system after our first test has been successfully completed. We are finalizing an agreement with the Director of Water Research for NEOM to fund our pilot with the Carlsbad Desalination Plant, and have committed to a subsequent pilot test to validate our technology's ability to facilitate Brine Mining/ZLD applications for Saudi Arabia.
Eden Technologies intends to participate in future industry conferences to generate interest in our technology, after the initial phase of testing has demonstrated our technology's commercial viability. Our industry is small, and we've already been contacted by key industry players who expressed interest in our technology - and this occurred after our initial patent application was published (we haven't had to do any marketing).

Competitive Analysis
Competitive Analysys
Any non-membrane form of seawater desalination can achieve high recoveries or zero-liquid-discharge (on paper), but they’re both hardware and energy intensive - so much so that it is not economically feasible. Because of this, seawater desalination plants are (by and large) only 40-50% efficient at recovering seawater. The theoretical absolute minimum amount of energy required by natural osmosis to desalinate average seawater is approximately 1 kwh/m3 of water produced. In perspective, state-of-the-art seawater reverse-osmosis plants can achieve 3.5kwh/m3 at 50% recovery and, by contrast, our system is able to achieve 1.75kwh/m3. Moreover, our system can achieve 6.5kwh/m3 at 88% recovery, making brine mining a reality (ZLD desalination plants).
TL;DR - Companies like Veolia and PRAB are in this business - what we’re offering is the difference between a horse-and-buggy, and a Formula One car.
We are open to meeting up to grab a coffee, or just to chat.
We would really enjoy your feedback and insight into our venture and would be happy to discuss anything that you are currently working on to see if we can be of service!
