A membrane process that uses natural osmotic pressure differences to pull water through a semipermeable membrane without external pressure


Forward Osmosis

Osmotically Assisted RO
A membrane process that applies hydraulic pressure with an osmotic gradient to recover water from salty brines beyond conventional RO limits

Zero Liquid Discharge
A treatment approach that recovers water and eliminates liquid waste by converting all residual brine into solid byproducts

Resource Recovery
The process of removing freshwater from a saline stream to increase the salt and dissolved solids content of the remaining brine
Products & Processes
An integrated OARO–RO process that maximizes water recovery from high-salinity brines while reducing concentrate volume.
A family of advanced RO elements designed to efficiently treat challenging, high-saline feedwater. Available as an individual product or as an integrated system.
An FO-based process tailored to maximize recovery across cleaner streams. Available as an individual product or as an integrated system.

FTS H2O, an Aquatech company, is addressing global water scarcity and ensuring critical minerals recovery through advanced membrane technologies. The FTS H2O team has successfully commercialized both FO and osmotically assisted reverse osmosis (OARO) for industrial applications. These core technologies enable FTS H2O to deliver fully integrated flowsheet solutions that maximize freshwater recovery, reduce energy demand, and foster economic opportunity through mineral recovery.
Backed by Aquatech’s 45+ years of industry leadership, our solutions are engineered for performance, reliability, and accountability across the full treatment train, and are developed and validated at the Center of Excellence for membrane-driven brine concentration in Albany, Oregon.
