Forward Water $FWTC Has 14 NDAs Signed / 3 Agreements With Major Lithium Extractors To 10x Lithium Concentration
The global water and wastewater treatment market is projected to grow from $285 billion in 2021 to $465 billion in 2028 . If you’ve been watching the news you’ll know it's because 40% of the global population resides in regions marked as “water insecure”, with 1.1 billion people lacking access to water - and a total of 2.7 billion find water scarce for at least one month of the year.
As such, treatment of water and wastewater is necessary for mankind to meet the demand for water resources, not only for municipal and agricultural purposes but also for critical industry purposes.
ENTER FORWARD WATER TECHNOLOGIES $FWTC
$FWTC is commercializing its proprietary forward osmosis technology allowing industrial users to reduce water consumption by up to 90% and providing them with the following immediate benefits:
While many solutions we see are focused on the home, $FWTC is focused strictly on large-scale implementation in multiple sectors including:
ON THE BRINK OF SUCCESS WITHIN LITHIUM EXTRACTION INDUSTRY
WHY ARE SO MANY LITHIUM EXTRACTION COMPANIES WORKING WITH $FWTC?
Brine mining is the isolation of valuable materials from naturally occurring mineral solutions in aquifers or similar underground deposits. These materials include in-demand rare earth elements and other metals such as lithium. However, these brines often have very low levels of these valuable materials and require significant concentration to enable them to be economically retrieved.
Today, this is usually done using solar or forced thermal evaporation, both of which have high energy costs and long processing times. In addition, traditional methods have proven to have detrimental effects on the environment.
The $FWTC low energy forward osmosis process can concentrate the valuable materials from these brines with much greater efficiency and at a lower cost. Additionally, the clean water extracted in the process can be also re-used, sent to replenish the aquifer source, or discharged to the surface for agricultural purposes. This is a significant advantage compared to incumbent approaches.
