Tech

At 4Earth we provide membrane based water treatment solutions. Depending on the type of application, high quality UF, NF or RO membranes are utilized. Modularity of membranes makes scaling, maintenance and repairs easy.

Source water type determines whether we use polymeric or ceramic-based membranes. Ceramic material gives us the benefit of increased flux, durability, hydrophilicity and chemical resistance.

Specifically for UF, we implement a low-flux process that utilizes less energy, reduces chemical cleaning requirements and improves membrane lifespan.

Our water treatment objectives include high contaminant removal efficiency, low process complexity and reduced chemical dependence.

We use modified shipping containers to build plug-and-play water treatment systems. This makes it easy to transport and ready to install with reduced onsite construction time. Containers are also stackable, which reduces land requirement at project sites.

There is a cultural shift towards decentralization and self-reliance. Energy, finance and communication are examples. Less people have landlines and more people have cellphones...

We are stepping away from traditional brick-and-mortar treatment plants to decentralized systems

We should make life easier for plant operators

We have designed a modern user-interface homed on an Apple iPad to make operation more fun and intuitive. Nobody should be confused looking at a HMI screen. You should be able to learn the process in a matter of hours... not months.

We utilize data-driven methods and analytics to reduce energy consumption and operational costs while increasing membrane lifespan.

No grid, no problem

We are developing off-grid water treatment solutions for remote areas without access to electricity from the grid. This is 13% of our world. No electricity should not mean you don't have access to clean water.

The polymerization of art and science creates wonders that go beyond one's imagination. We are collabing with local artists, based on project, to bring local culture to our tech.
