Technology Platform

Salpro - Selective Mineral Recovery from Saline Waters
An enabling technology for selective or sequential recovery of commercial-grade mineral products from inorganic saline waters, via various combinations of chemical reaction, evaporation, and separation process steps. The technology, first licensed in 2001, has since undergone several rounds of enhancement for broader applicability, and subjected to independent comparative evaluation by many

organisations, consistently ranking Salpro as the most sustainable

ZLD solution for management of inorganic saline waste waters, on

technical and operational feasibility, environmental acceptability,

and economic grounds. Commercially deployed and publicly

demonstrated, Salpro offers substantial flexibility in system design

and scalability for converting large flows of impactful saline

wastewater and desalination brine into low-footprint mineral

products for direct use, or as a high-grade feedstock for

manufacturer of downstream value-added products. 

MBC - Mineral-Based Composites for Encapsulation
A novel composite minerals technology for diverse

environmental and industrial applications, including

but not limited to safe containment of hard-to-abate

end-of-process saline residues, such as

PFAS-laden residuals and toxic metals. Solidification

of residuals in the matrix of the mineral composites is

achieved via aggregation and/or granulation steps,

that enables transforming the hazardous residuals into

form-stable, non-leachable material for safe landfilling.

Recognised as a top invention at 2023 World Economic

Forum, MBC technology strengthens Pact Renewables’

standing as a leading technology provider of sustainable

hazardous waste solutions.

Synpotash - Production of Variable-Solubility SOP Fertilisers and Derivatives via Mineral Conversion
A proprietary mineral-conversion process for producing chloride-free, variable-solubility sulphate of potash (SOP) fertilisers and derivatives from potassium chloride salt and potassium-containing brines. The technology complements Salpro by enabling downstream potassium-value utilisation, such as production of potassium-based additives for CO₂ capture and alkaline fuel cell application.

Together: Salpro recovers saleable mineral products and reduces saline wastewater; MBC secures and contains hazardous waste - a complementary pathway to zero waste discharge (ZWD) outcomes for enhancing a project’s community approval and investor confidence.
