Brine Mining & Mineral Recovery
Transforming Waste Streams into Valuable Resources
Directly from Seawater
Sustainable Mineral Extraction at the Source
The oceans hold vast quantities of minerals such as lithium, magnesium, and potassium. Hydrovolta’s innovative SonixED™ process enables direct extraction from seawater using low-energy, selective separation methods. Designed for coastal or offshore facilities, this system turns a natural resource into a sustainable, long-term supply chain for critical materials used in batteries, EVs, and green infrastructure.
Ideal For:
- Lithium producers and suppliers
- Coastal processing hubs
- Battery material manufacturers
- Government-led mineral initiatives
Key Benefits:
- Access to an abundant, renewable resource
- Eliminates need for large evaporation ponds
- Environmentally responsible extraction

Brine Concentrate Valorization
Recover Valuable Elements from Industrial or Desalination Brine
Every year, desalination plants and heavy industries discharge billions of gallons of brine — often with high concentrations of lithium, calcium, magnesium, and other critical elements. Hydrovolta’s brine valorization systems turn this environmental challenge into an opportunity. Our advanced cavitation-based treatment concentrates and isolates key minerals for reuse or sale, while supporting Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) goals.
Ideal For:
- Desalination facilities
- Battery and electronics manufacturers
- Mining operations
- Oil & gas or geothermal industries
Key Benefits:
- Recover lithium, magnesium, calcium, and other salts
- Reduce waste and disposal costs
- Support sustainability and ESG targets
