Nanosprings™ Technology
A modular proprietary synthetic mineral adsorption platform for industrial water reclamation at the point of demand.
01 / Adsorption TechnologyProprietary
Proprietary
Mineral
Adsorption.
Nanosprings™ uses a proprietary synthetic mineral adsorption process. Granulated synthetic mineral adsorbents capture dissolved contaminants through electrostatic attraction. Unlike conventional filtration, the process operates without biological treatment or continuous chemical dosing.
The adsorbent mineral beds are abiotic — no living organisms, no biologics, no unpredictable biological variation. The process is deterministic, repeatable, and designed for the precision tolerances of industrial infrastructure.
Abiotic Process
No biological process window
Electrostatic Capture
Selective capture of dissolved contaminants
Weekly Regeneration
500–1000 ppm TDS cycle
Chemical Reduction
80–85% vs conventional
Module 01 // Adsorption CycleThe Adsorption
The Adsorption
Cycle. Four Stages.
01
INTAKE
Contaminated water enters the adsorbent bed at controlled flow rate and pressure.
Stage 01
02
ADSORPTION
Dissolved minerals, including silica, hardness, chlorides, and TDS, bind to the mineral surface via electrostatic attraction.
Stage 02
03
POLISHING
Post-adsorption water passes through secondary finishing to achieve target purity specifications.
Stage 03
04
REGENERATION
A periodic contained regeneration cycle removes bound minerals and restores adsorbent capacity.

03 / Common QuestionsNanosprings,
Nanosprings,
Explained.
How does the adsorption process work?
Granulated synthetic mineral adsorbents capture dissolved contaminants through electrostatic attraction. Water then passes through finishing stages selected for the site's target water quality.
Does Nanosprings require continuous chemical dosing?
The adsorption stage does not require continuous chemical dosing during normal treatment flow. Adsorbent beds are restored through periodic, contained regeneration cycles.
Can treatment continue during regeneration?
In parallel-train configurations, one treatment train can regenerate while the remaining trains stay online, supporting continuous operation.
