Desalination discharge is normally a high-density, destructive marine pollutant. Roborns runs a Zero-Liquid-Discharge (ZLD) crystallization plant. We isolate commercial-grade salts, magnesium compounds, and potassium directly from brine.

Standard coastal desalination plants return concentrated, chemical-heavy brine directly back into the sea. This creates high-salinity dead zones along shorelines. Our facility approaches the problem from a zero-waste chemical perspective.
By utilizing fractional crystallization and nanofiltration, we partition the brine loop. Solutes are precipitated out step-by-step: first, high-purity sodium chloride; next, magnesium hydroxide; then agricultural potassium. The remaining solution yields liquid bromine. Every element is refined, bagged, or drummed, and sold — leaving zero effluent returned to the ocean.
Over 99% pure sodium chloride and calcium compounds, ready for bulk shipping globally.
Magnesium hydroxide and potassium salts isolated using carbon-free thermal reject energy.
This order prevents the release of 900 m³ of hypersaline water, actively protecting seagrass beds and marine environments from industrial thermal pollution.
