$MVTG Mantra Energy Alternatives, a subsidiary of Mantra Venture Group Ltd. (OTCMKTS:MVTG), has announced that it is launching an exploratory hybrid carbon conversion and water desalination project. The purpose of the project is to evaluate the potential of the integration of desalination processes with Mantra’s ERC technology to produce high-value chemicals such as formate brine and syngas while simultaneously removing salts from saline water. The primary benefit of the integration is the fact that sodium ions from saline water can be utilised directly to form sodium formate salts, eliminating the need for an external source of the metal cation. The symbiosis of the two technologies would improve the economics of the ERC process, and generate a valuable by-product: fresh waterProf.
CCCI current project, note that $MVTG has moved their lab to the CMC CCCI location in Canada. Google them!!!! CCCI has applied for a $2 million dollar pilot plant grant for $MVTG, news is pending this year on it.
Dr. David Wilkinson and his research group at the University of British Columbia have developed a technology that has the potential to have a large impact on global CO2 emissions while addressing the issue of decreasing global water reserves. The novel technology, which is being demonstrated at a pilot plant at BC Research, uses CO2 to desalinate industrial wastewater, creating a smaller carbon footprint and an economical alternative to conventional desalination and CO2 removal technology. This waste-to-value technology combines salts present in industrial wastewater with CO2 in an electrochemical cell to convert the CO2 into high-value chemicals such as carbonate salts and acids that are particularly useful for the oil and gas industry. In contrast to technologies which try to address each issue separately, the coupling of both of these processes is unique and highly valuable for industry.
Designed as a process operated from a modular facility, the technology can be easily scaled based on wastewater volume treatment requirements, and the amount of CO2 that can be converted is dependent on the salt content and quantity of the wastewater. The modular design also means the technology will be easy to transport, easy to incorporate into other systems, and simple to operate on site. In what could possibly become a standard desalination and wastewater treatment, UBC’s technology is expected to have a significant impact on CO2 removal.
The development of the novel UBC technology over the last two years under a Climate Change and Emissions Management Corporation grant (now Emissions Reduction Alberta) has been very successful with all milestones being met or exceeded. The CO2 removal and desalination rates have been shown to be in a range of interest and value for practical industrial applications. The scaled-up electrochemical reactor and corresponding pilot plant at BC Research is capable of treating up to 10 barrels of wastewater per day. Initial testing results have shown excellent agreement with the data generated from small-scale bench-top testing.
This work has been possible with leveraged funding through Western Economic Diversification (WED) Canada, the Natural Science and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) of Canada, the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions, and an industrial collaborator (NORAM Engineering and Constructors).
