Mining runoff, industrial effluent and ageing infrastructure leave heavy metals in water long after the source is gone – and even trace amounts are dangerous.
SargaSorb is made from pelagic Sargassum – the invasive seaweed washing up by the millions of tonnes. We turn that problem into a high-surface-area sorbent that captures metals on contact and holds them for good.
Metal ions bind to the sorbent's active surface the moment contaminated water flows through.
A deeply porous internal structure draws metals inward and traps them far from the water.
Captured ions are exchanged and held in place – so they stay locked in the media, not the water.
SargaSorb is a platform, not a single product. Each version is tuned to your target metals and water chemistry – and the technology is licensable for almost any contaminant.
Each grade is tuned to your target metals and water chemistry – and the technology is licensable to deploy against almost any contaminant.
Strip the captured metals and put the same media straight back to work – cycle after cycle, not single-use.
Drops into whatever you already run – basic contact tanks, packed columns or exchange plates.
Polish acid-mine drainage and tailings runoff before discharge.
Meet discharge limits on metal-laden process water.
Final-stage removal of trace metals to safe levels.
Protect hatcheries and stock from metal contamination.
