Adionics Unveils SELECTEX, A New Approach In Desalination Based On A Selective Extraction Solution For Water Deionization

Notably For Oil & Gas, Pharmaceutical, Chemical And Mining Markets

San Diego, CA – While taking part in the IDA World Congress 2015 in San Diego, Adionics is pleased to announce the launch of SELECTEX®, a selective extraction solution for water deionization.

While SMARTEX, which was launched at WETEX 15 in Dubai, is able to smartly extract families of ions in line with Mendeleev classification columns, such as Alkali metals (cations+) or Alkaline earth metals (cations++), SELECTEX takes the technology one step further. SELECTEX is able to pick out from high saline waters one or two or three cations such as Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, Strontium or Barium as neutral salts, to meet the process specification, while the other ones are left in the treated water. This new approach is expected to become a major breakthrough in many industries such as pharmaceutical, chemicals, Oil & Gas as well as mining.

SELECTEX stands for selective extraction and is a derivation of Adionics’ AquaOmnes® technology. Adionics introduced this technology at the last IFAT Trade Fair (Munich, May 2014) and further industrial variants for brines and industrial water at IWS15 and WETEX15. AquaOmnes removes salts from saline water by liquid-liquid extraction whatever the salinity without being limited by any scaling barrier.

Thierry Darde, the EVP Sales & Marketing of Adionics said: “Thanks to SELECTEX, in the field of the Oil & Gas business for instance, our solution is able to treat high saline waters such as produced water and remove some salts based on Calcium and/or Strontium and/or Barium, or even sulphate when other ones, based on Sodium and/or Chloride are left in the treated water. This new approach in the world of Enhanced Oil Recovery is expected to become a major breakthrough for this industry. The first pilots are to be implemented in the field in 2016.”

Adionics attends the IDA World Congress 2015 exhibition in San Diego, CA (August 30 through September 4). Come and meet us at booth 740.
