Key benefits

GeNasis™: A New Architecture
for Sodium Production

A production model designed for flexible, resilient, and controlled production of industrial and premium-grade sodium products.

The GeNasis™ modular energy-from-waste-integrated brine valorisation system

  • Integrated On-Site Utilities

    GeNasis™ operates as an integrated on-site utilities system, enabling independently scalable energy and brine management to deliver reliable, efficient, and predictable on-site performance.

  • Decentralised Sodium Source

    Brine waste offers a decentralised, geographically unconstrained sodium source, supporting cost-competitive production while enabling supply to be developed closer to end users and demand centres.

  • Consistent Product Precision

    Our closed-loop system architecture enables precision control over the entire production process, delivering consistent, high-spec sodium products with minimal waste generation.

  • Multi-Product Capability

    The GeNasis™ system processes sodium via a single processing pathway, where sodium is transitioned from product to product. Using a multi-endpoint architecture, we can deliver a a bespoke range of sodium product types from a single site.

     

How it works

Find the brine

We partner with industrial operators to solve their persistent challenge of brine waste management.

On-Site Integration

GeNasis™ deployment provides an integrated utilities package, delivering on-site electrical power, heat, and brine management.

Scale the System

The modular design allows GeNasis™ to scale to meet site-specific operational needs

Separate the Sodium

Sodium is selectively removed from the hypersaline brine, reducing overall salinity.

Premium Products

Recovered sodium is converted into premium-grade sodium-based chemicals.

Residuals Resolved

Salinity-depleted brine is prepared for reuse, controlled discharge, or zero-liquid-discharge systems.

Research & Partnerships

Backed by world-class research

To make brine the world’s primary source of sodium and establish localised circular supply chains that set the global benchmark for sustainable and resilient supply.

Every GeNasis™ deployment is engineered, tested, and validated through independent research.
We collaborate with academic and technical partners to model system performance, define operational limits, and de-risk deployment at scale. This research-led approach ensures GeNasis™ can be deployed predictably, safely, and efficiently—without compromising reliability or control—ensuring every deployment remains at the cutting edge of innovation.

Frequently asked questions

Does integrating GeNasis™ require changes to existing operations or infrastructure?

GeNasis™ is deployed as a co-located utilities package, scalable to meet site footprint and operating requirements. Utilities interface with existing infrastructure, while brine management is integrated through auxiliary systems, allowing core operations to remain fully active during installation.

How does GeNasis™ allocate production capacity across different sodium products?

GeNasis™ operates using a single processing-pathway architecture in which recovered sodium progressively evolves its chemical state. A multi-endpoint design enables partial or complete recovery at defined stages, allowing multiple sodium products to be produced within the same modular process architecture.

What is the technical maturity of the GeNasis™ system?

While GeNasis™ is an early-stage integrated platform built on a novel system architecture, its underlying components draw from mature electrochemical and brine-processing technologies. Development is progressing through defined prototyping and testing phases to validate integration, performance, and operating limits ahead of pilot-scale deployment.

How is residual brine managed following sodium recovery?

Residual brine management is defined by partner and environmental site conditions, established during early-stage development. Post sodium recovery, GeNasis™’s modular design enables either the establishment of discharge of salinity-depleted brine via existing infrastructure or advancement to Minimum- or Zero-Liquid-Discharge to completely eliminate brine waste discharge.

Who owns, operates, and maintains the Alvera™ system?

GeNasis™ is deployed under a BOO (Build, own, operate) model, with all ownership and operational responsibility retained by us. This provides partners with a consistent and accountable on-site utilities solution, without requiring the addition of operational complexity.
