Redefining waste,
one drop at a time.
Clean Water and Valuable Minerals
espiku provides cost-effective, reliable solutions for enabling clean water and minerals extraction from oil & gas produced water, high-salinity brines, and other unconventional sources. Our technologies leverage low-pressure, low-temperature thermal cycles to eliminate the need for membranes, packed beds, and prevent fouling.
Turn Waste into Profit
Our solutions transform byproducts into valuable, marketable resources including freshwater and Lithium, fostering a sustainable water-energy nexus and the transition to a clean energy economy.
Two Products.
Infinite Solutions.
Produced Water Management
Espiku provides high-volume disposal reduction with a seamless, on-site Water-as-a-Service (WaaS) model. Our Scepter technology handles any salinity—up to 500,000+ ppm TDS—without the scaling or fouling that plagues conventional systems.
Our proven and patented water treatment technology extracts clean water and recovers minerals from produced water and other industrial wastewater, agnostic of the feed water composition and its contaminants. Our partners save money and time by reducing the costs and logistics of water acquisition, transportation, or disposal.
-
We build, own, and operate the infrastructure, charging a simple, metered service fee that is significantly lower than traditional trucking and Saltwater Disposal (SWD) costs.
-
Achieve over 95% uptime and 99.9% removal efficiency, transforming liability-heavy wastewater into high-purity, irrigation-quality water.
-
The system’s ability to fully suppress and mitigate scaling without membranes or packed beds in real time ensures continuous operation with little maintenance.
Critical Mineral Valoratization
Unlocking Value from brine or industrial produced water. Our patented technology enables a domestic and secure supply of critical minerals. The higher the salinity, the greater our competitive advantage.
Espiku turns produced water into a strategic mineral feedstock. By pre-concentrating brine 2–3X, our technology enables the economic recovery of battery-grade minerals from unconventional sources.
-
Our process reduces the capital expenditure for Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) by 27%, making domestic lithium production competitive with the world’s premier resources.
-
Integrated with existing DLE technology, we enable >90% lithium recovery and 99% contaminant rejection.
-
We provide a viable pathway to meet 30–40% of domestic lithium demand using minerals already brought to the surface by existing energy operations.
