Industries Struggle with Water Supply Challenges
In the United States alone over 19 trillion gallons of potable water are used solely for industrial purposes. Typically these needs are met by transporting water from a nearby natural source to the site. This supply usually needs to be treated for natural bacteria and other contaminates before it can be effectively used. After being utilized in the fracturing process, the resulting waste water must be subjected to special testing and treatments to meet strict government regulations before anything else can be done with it.
Treatment Cost-Prohibitive & Inefficient
Several treatment technologies have been employed to address the growing industrial water supply demand. While beneficial, these methods have many constraints. Most consume a sizable amount of energy and require significant capital and logistics to employ. Others are inefficient and capable of recycling less than half of the waste water which forces production facilities to constantly resupply from a fresh source.
A Revolutionary New Approach Promises Cost-Efficiency & Renews 99.9% Of Water
We provide an option that is both cost efficient and ecologically friendly. Our innovative technology purifies contaminated waste water and nearly eliminates the need for a fresh supply.
Using our patent pending
Pathocell™ electrode technology we use high voltage electrolysis to process and treat large quantities of waste water with minimal environmental impact and no added chemicals. Absolutely no concentrated waste is produced in the process thereby eliminating additional waste disposal costs.

Water Supply Crises by 2025
According to a 2000 U.S. Geological Survey report, the United States uses over 400,000 Mgal/d (million gallons of water per day). 85% of our water originates from surface sources such as rivers, lakes, and wetlands. Our demand for water increases by more than 1 billion gallons a day each year.
The U.S. Department of the Interior predicts water supply crises is highly likely by 2025 in the following locations:
- North San Joaquin Valley of Central California
- Santa Fe and Albuquerque
- Salt Lake City
- Denver and Colorado Springs
- Arizona/California state border
- Eastern Arizona region
- Texas Gulf Coast and the Texas/Mexico border
Typical (Competitor) Methods of Treating Industrial Wastewater
- Distillation (generates heat and high energy consumption)
- Reverse Osmosis (loses 40% total water supply)
- Bioremediation sediment (creates concentrated waste disposal)
- Filtration (very slow process)
