The Product
Vacuum-based, low-energy desalination systems with lowest environmental impact.
TWT’s novel desalination systems will be deployed in islands, coasts, and even offshore to produce clean water at scale with minimal environmental impact.
Our Mission
We aim at impacting the water industry in a major way.
The world population at high risk of water stress is increasing from 3+ billion today to 4+ billion by 2050. At Torr Water Technology, we realize the importance of clean, affordable water and want to ensure its access for current and future populations which face no or limited access. We also realize the impact that tainted water can have on regions and aim at addressing those issues with novel solutions for remediating contaminated water. Our interdisciplinary team is overall committed to providing novel desalination and purifying systems to ensure access to affordable clean water.
Technology
Currently, Reverse Osmosis (RO) is the state-of-the-art technology for water desalination. However, RO has several disadvantages: it is very energy-intensive, has high Capital Expense, has high Operational Expense due to its membrane-based technology, and has a high environmental impact due to its high-salinity brine as by-product. Torr Water Technology utilizes a novel patented design and distillation process which leverages the physics of vacuum and the temperature profiles of the ocean. The result is a cutting-edge desalination technology which can produce water at significantly lower cost than RO AND with minimal environmental impact.
Applications
Torr Water Technology is working to identify areas across the globe to implement its water solutions. It intends to work with local authorities, states, governments, oil and water industry, investors and partners in coastal areas, islands, and offshore (e.g. oil and gas platforms).
