Products and Tech
1. Continuously Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR)
Contaminated water is piped or trucked to the treatment location and temporarily stored in tanks. We then hold the water in a Continuously Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR) so suspended solids are kept, well, suspended and there is some homogeneity to the water.
2. PartiClear™
Water is pumped through PartiClear™ to remove suspended solids (e.g., iron, manganese, sand) and separated oil and water.
3. MetalClear™
The water is then pumped through MetalClear™ where metals, including aluminum, antimony, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, copper, iron, lead, manganese, mercury, nickel, thallium, zinc, etc., are trapped by our IxMZ-S media.
4. OrganiClear™
The water is then pumped through the OrganiClear™ tank, where dissolved and emulsified organic hydrocarbons are trapped and then converted to innocuous by-products (CO2 and water) via IxMZ media. This includes dissolved hydrocarbons (BTEX), polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and NPD (naphtalenes, phenanthrenes, dibenzothiophenes).
5. MetalClear++™
The final step in the IX Water OG system is to remove scalants via MetalClear++™ using IxMZ++ media.
6. SaltClear ED™
The result is clean water, containing salts, which can then be concentrated via a variety of commercial methods including our own SaltClear ED™, depending on the amount of salt in the water, the intended use of the water, and disposal methodology for the concentrated brine.

Service
IX Power Clean Water sells the IX Water system: machines, setup and validation, training, technical support, and maintenance. IX Water is simple enough for a single, part-time operator to manage all functions. The Company also offers treatment as a service.
Cost
The total cost for treatment using the IX Water system (CapEx and OpEx) ranges from $0.17 to $0.25 a barrel, depending on contaminants in the water and the intended use of the treated water. Cost per barrel depends on the amount of water treated daily, the specific constituents needing removal, and the ultimate disposition of the water.
Salt concentration costs an additional $.50 to $0.75 per bbl.
Regulation
Regulations regarding the disposition of contaminated water vary with each state, while national regulations can create additional burdens on operators. IX Power Clean Water is expert at navigating regulations for the treatment and disposition of contaminated water, and can assist customers in navigating these regulations.
Conventional systems were not designed for the hydrocarbons, metals, metalloids, scalants, and salts found in industrial wastewater and oil & gas produced (formation) water. IX Water is comprised of discrete components that treat specific contaminants.
Our approach is unique in the industry in that the goal for IX Water is to produce either a) water clean enough for re-use or surface discharge, or b) concentrated brine that can be sold, concentrated, or used for thousands of different applications.
