The market for stws water treatment tech is huge imo.



"We’ve all heard of desalination technology before, but the sticking point—as it always is with new technology—is cost. Desalination has never been economical on a commercial scale before. Until now, the price of desalinated water projects has hovered around $8 a barrel, but the Dutch version comes in at around $1.50-$2.00 per barrel, or approximately $1,100-$1,350 per acre-foot of water.

Additionally, whereas your typical desalination plant returns only about 35% of the water, Saltech technology can return 97%--and this is a key factor in the economics and environmentally positive attributes of the technology."

If you google cnn or fox news and water shortage, you will find endless articles noting the huge issue. If there is one thing people will pay good money for, it is water. STWS delivers fresh water cheaper, with a lot less waste, in decontamination or desalinated.


"Desalinated water typically costs about $2,000 an acre foot -- roughly the amount of water a family of five uses in a year. The cost is about double that of water obtained from building a new reservoir or recycling wastewater, according to a 2013 study from the state Department of Water Resources.May 29, 2014"
