Catalyst365 has proven that it precipitates up to 85% of the dissolved metals and minerals in seawater allowing these to be mined on a commercial basis as a biproduct to freshwater production. Theoretically, the ocean is the biggest untapped mine in the world with an inexhaustible resource. Globally, seawater contains 50 quadrillion tons (50 thousand trillion tons) of recoverable minerals.
With the advantages of Catalyst365 and other inline operations, this enables the recovery of the precipitate metals and minerals which can be sold commercially. Correct mineral recovery can offset all desalination freshwater production costs and generate sustainable profits.
