Enaxiom’s patent-pending HydroCool technology is the result of over a decade of research and development. The journey commenced in 2013 through a collaboration with The University of Western Australia (UWA), The National Centre of Excellence in Desalination Australia (NCEDA), and BHP Billiton Worsley Alumina refinery plant in 2013.

HydroCool technology involves a new process and material design that allows the system to tolerate higher levels of polluted wastewater and hypersaline water than compared to conventional systems, due to its anti-scaling, anti-fouling and anti-corrosive properties.

The groundbreaking process harnesses low-grade industrial waste heat, whether in liquid or gas form, operating efficiently within the 50-200°C range. This not only serves as an effective cooling system but also eliminates or minimizes the need for additional cooling processes, such as traditional cooling towers. Beyond cooling, HydroCool goes further by producing premium boiler-grade freshwater of remarkable quality, ideal for reuse in various manufacturing processes.

HydroCool seamlessly integrates with a Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) process, enabling the extraction of valuable minerals from brines. Enaxiom's HydroCool is not just a technological leap; it's a sustainable solution that transforms waste heat into a valuable resource while promoting environmental responsibility in industrial applications.
