Intro
ElectraMet is a team of experienced and passionate professionals dedicated to developing and commercializing innovative water treatment technologies. Our team comes from a variety of backgrounds, including engineering, chemistry, environmental science, and business. This diversity of expertise allows us to approach water process challenges from a holistic perspective and to develop solutions that are both effective and sustainable.
Click the following table to jump to the specific systems we have available.
ElectraMet was founded in 2013 as a spin-out from the University of Kentucky. Our mission was to develop a more sustainable and affordable water treatment technology than what was currently available. We believed that activated carbon electrodes and small amounts of electricity could be used to remove metals from wastewater more efficiently and effectively than traditional chemical-based methods.
After years of research and development, we launched our first commercial water treatment system in 2016. Since then, we have helped industries of all sizes to reduce their environmental impact and save money on water treatment costs. Our technology has also been recognized for its innovation and potential impact on the water treatment industry.
Our Mission
ElectraMet is dedicated to delivering innovative water treatment technologies that remove and recover metal and oxidant impurities to enable a circular economy and create a more sustainable future for us all.
Systems
ElectraMet designs and delivers systems to remove metals and oxidants from water streams to establish process controls for compliance risk mitigation, increased profit margin, and refining product purity. ElectraMet’s system portfolio is acquired and implemented by customers to address specific challenges in manufacturing waters requiring impurity removal to improve process reliability, increase product quality, enable water reuse, and/or assure discharge compliance. Unlike traditional water treatment, ElectraMet systems deliver the defined customer specification while producing no secondary waste or byproducts that upset downstream processes or product quality. Additionally, most metal impurities can be recovered and sold to recyclers at a profit to offset treatment costs and minimize carbon dioxide emissions. Through this recovery process, a documentable and defendable sustainability impact is realized. Step into the future with ElectraMet and transform circularity at your site today.
Alpha | Discharge Compliance
Navigate regulatory compliance with ease: The Alpha System is purpose-built to assess and remove dissolved metals from your waste streams, providing unrivaled assurance and efficiency in achieving discharge compliance. Alpha systems are deployed to turn waste treatment programs into waste ownership programs, enabling absolute operator ownership of the metals removal process through real-time analytics and immediate corrective actions for upstream upsets. Ideal for microelectronics and a broad range of industries, this system is the epitome of reliability and efficiency, safeguarding your business against unpredictable manufacturing & regulatory changes. Dive deeper into how Alpha can fortify your compliance strategy and enable absolute ownership over metals removal at your site.
Phi | Product & Process Purification
Elevate product purity & finished product value: The Phi System is a revolution in product purification using established science. Developed for critical applications such as lithium-ion battery recycling and metal impurity recovery from process streams, Phi systems are deployed to deliver higher specification removal and purification with single-pass efficiency. Transitioning from technical grade to battery grade materials, recovery of valuable metals from process streams, and refinement of chemical baths and materials are all possible with Phi. The Phi was developed to take your business to the next level. Discover the latest technology for enhancing product quality, extending lifecycle, and reducing waste.
Delta | Reinvigorate & Optimize Onsite Treatment
Drive efficiency into your old systems today: Traditional metals removal technology like ion-exchange, chemical precipitation, solvent exchange, and electrowinning all have substantial treatment efficiency gaps where the amount of work being executed is diminished based on flow or metals concentration. Delta systems allow customers to efficiently transition across established shortcomings by bridging the gaps with existing technology to enable a highly efficient and cost-effective overall treatment strategy. Delta systems are inserted between incumbent electrowinning and ion-exchange systems to reduce energy usage and ion-exchange lifespan between backwash or replacement for single-use resins. Delta systems also serve to remove bulk metals prior to solvent exchange or chemical precipitation due to treatment inefficiencies at higher concentrations. Designed to support all industrial applications, Delta adapts to your unique challenges, injecting operational efficiency and risk mitigation into your existing treatment program. Uncover how Delta can streamline your transition to excellence.
Gamma | Advanced Oxidant Decomposition
Abatement of hydrogen peroxide, ozone, chlorine, and chloramines has never been more critical to protect assets and enable water reuse. The Gamma system offers an unrivaled solution for the abatement of oxidants from wastewater and is a critical technology for microelectronics. ElectraMet deploys Gamma systems to reduce peroxides and other oxidants with demonstrated effectiveness up to 80 g/L and down to ppb levels. Gamma systems process peroxides and ozone into oxygen and/or water with no other byproducts to pollute or foul downstream processes. Gamma systems process chlorine and chloramine into chlorides that can be easily removed by membrane technology. With Gamma, you protect your process and the planet, reducing your environmental footprint while enhancing safety and compliance. Discover how the Gamma system can lead to better outcomes at your facility.
Omega | Advanced Metals Recovery Systems
Recover a competitive edge: The Omega System executes bulk removal for concentrated streams while serving as the recovery solution for the Alpha, Phi, and Delta Systems. Omega systems are deployed in mining applications to optimize existing electrowinning solutions while executing bulk copper removal and recovery in microelectronics. Tailings and metals-laden wastewater becomes an opportunity for cost reduction over your existing removal and recovery system while increasing your sustainability score with documentable contribution. Omega systems advanced electrowinning technology to enable efficient recovery and removal of the targeted metal while eliminating traditional failure mechanisms linked to over-heating and maintenance. Turn your challenges into advantages by learning how Omega can transform circularity at your site.
