End brine across every mine in your portfolio.
When you run multiple operations at 5,000 to 50,000 mg/L TDS, brine is a problem you re-solve site by site — different ponds, different permits, different liabilities. Desalus replaces all of it with one zero-waste standard: Desalus funds, builds, owns and operates the treatment at every mine, and you simply buy back clean water at an attractive rate per thousand gallons — zero brine, zero waste, no disposal liability across the fleet.
One brine problem, multiplied by every site you operate.
A single mine's brine is a headache. A portfolio of them is a structural cost. Each operation runs its own ponds, its own haulage contracts and its own permit clock — inconsistent, hard to audit and impossible to optimize across the group.
- No two sites match. Different disposal methods mean different risks, different costs and no fleet-wide picture of your exposure.
- Liability compounds across the group — every pond, liner and injection well adds permit load that grows with each acquisition.
- The waste only grows with the fleet — the more mines you run, the more clean water you throw away and the more brine you pay, forever, to pond and haul.
What scattered brine disposal costs a portfolio
Without a standard, every mine you add multiplies disposal spend and capital risk. With Desalus funding and operating one standard fleet-wide, your all-in water cost stays flat, low and predictable.
One standard across the fleet beats six fixes that don't talk to each other.
Desalus is a full water-treatment service you roll out site by site — the same zero-waste outcome, the same reporting and the same economics at every operation in the portfolio.
One zero-waste standard
The same 99%+ recovery and brine elimination at every mine — no more bespoke pond designs or one-off disposal contracts per site.
Lower water cost, zero capital
No capital outlay and no operating burden at any site. Desalus funds, builds and runs everything — every mine pays only for clean water delivered, at an attractive rate per thousand gallons that beats its current all-in cost.
Fleet-wide compliance
Zero brine means zero brine permit problem — at every operation. One predictable zero-liquid-discharge posture across the whole group.
Built for 5k–50k mg/L
Engineered for the inland brackish band your mines actually sit in, where alternative designs fail and per-site recovery normally collapses.
Stronger every community
Local clean water at each site, plus the farm-grade fertilizer Desalus recovers and markets, strengthen the regions your operations depend on, for generations.
Consistent, auditable reporting
Delivered as a service, every site reports the same way — so group leadership finally sees brine performance across the fleet in one view.
The band where every mine in your portfolio lives
From mildly brackish dewatering to near-saturation process water, Desalus is designed for 5,000–50,000 mg/L total dissolved solids — the range that spans almost every site you operate.
The highlighted band is the Desalus sweet spot — and the band your whole fleet shares, which is what makes one standard possible.
Site-by-site disposal vs. one portfolio standard
The same brines across your operations, two very different group outcomes.
| Across the portfolio | Desalus | Evaporation ponds | Conventional RO |
|---|---|---|---|
| Consistency across sites | One standard, fleet-wide | Every pond is bespoke | Varies by plant |
| Brine / reject stream | None, anywhere | Permanent pond per site | Yes — at each plant |
| Compliance posture | Uniform ZLD | Permit risk per site | Rising across group |
| Capital you outlay | None — Desalus owns & operates | You fund & build, per site | You fund & build, per plant |
| What you pay for | Clean water, per 1,000 gal | Disposal, forever, everywhere | Power + disposal, per plant |
| Group-level reporting | One auditable view | Fragmented | Inconsistent |
| Your all-in water cost | Lowest & predictable | Highest | High |
From one water report to a fleet-wide rollout in four steps.
It starts with a single site's numbers. Send Desalus a full-panel water quality and volume report from any mine, and you'll see exactly how the standard performs — then scale it across the portfolio.
Start with your water reportShare a site's full-panel report
Send water quality and volume data from one operation through the Desalus contact form. The richer the panel, the sharper the model.
Model the standard, site and portfolio
Desalus quantifies recovery, your clean-water rate per thousand gallons, and the capital and disposal costs you avoid — then projects the same across your other mines.
Desalus builds & operates the service
Desalus capitalizes, installs and runs the KNeW Process, Zix-Zak ion exchange and No-Briner systems to the same standard at each operation — no capex or operating burden for you.
Buy back clean water, fleet-wide
Every site simply purchases clean water at its agreed rate per thousand gallons. Brine never exists, and the recovered salts become fertilizer Desalus markets — which is how your water price stays low at every mine.
Raise profit. Eliminate waste. Flourish community.
The award-winning systems behind the Desalus service turn the hardest water at every mine into reliable, affordable clean water — at one consistent, predictable rate across the whole portfolio.
What portfolio operators ask first
Can one standard really work across mines with different water?
Yes. Desalus is engineered for the full 5,000–50,000 mg/L TDS inland band, which is where almost every mine sits. The service is configured to each site's exact chemistry, but the outcome — 99%+ recovery, zero brine and clean water — is the same standard everywhere, so the portfolio finally behaves consistently.
How does the Desalus model work — what do we actually pay?
Desalus capitalizes, builds, owns, operates and maintains the facility at each site. You don't buy equipment or run anything — every mine simply purchases the clean water Desalus produces, at an attractive rate per thousand gallons. Because Desalus recovers and sells the resulting farm-grade fertilizer, we can price your water below conventional treat-and-dispose alternatives while leaving zero waste. The fertilizer revenue is Desalus'; your benefit is cheaper water, zero capital outlay and no liability — at every operation.
Do we have to convert the whole fleet at once?
No. Most operators start with one site, prove the recovery, the clean-water rate per thousand gallons and the avoided capital and disposal cost, then roll the same standard out across the rest of the portfolio at the pace that suits the group.
How does this help fleet-wide compliance?
Because there is no brine, there is no brine permit problem — at any site. Every operation lands in the same predictable zero-liquid-discharge posture, giving group leadership one consistent, auditable compliance story instead of a different risk at every mine.
What do we need to get started?
A full-panel water quality analysis and the volumes from one site. Submit them through the contact form on desalus.com and Desalus will return site-specific insight plus a projection of what the standard does across your other operations.
See what one standard does across every mine you run.
Send Desalus a full-panel water quality and volume report from any site and get site-specific insight — plus a view of the clean water and the savings waiting across your whole portfolio.
No obligation. The report drives a site-specific model — and a portfolio-wide projection of recovery, your clean-water rate per thousand gallons, and the capital and disposal costs you avoid.
- Quantified water recovery for your exact TDS and volumes
- Your attractive clean-water rate per thousand gallons, per site
- Avoided brine, pond, disposal and capital costs across the fleet
- Zero capital outlay — Desalus funds, builds & operates it all, portfolio-wide
