Market Opportunity
Global Water Intelligence (GWI), a leading industry tracker, estimates the desalination capital market is worth $103 billion in capital investment to 2016 and growing at an increasing rate. Saltworks Thermo-Ionic™ technology holds great promise. Its performance is boosted by the application of industrial waste heat or the saltwater discharge from other desalination plants. It is well-suited for industrial applications or hybridization with other technologies. Given the energy and environmental benefits, Saltworks' technology has the potential to become the gold standard for desalination plant permitting.

Saltworks' advantage in hot weather and high electricity price environments defines the addressable market. Initial assessments, using industry reviewed market data, value the addressable market at over $2 billion in 2012 and growing to $6.5 billion by 2016. Saltworks is presently focusing on small plants less then 100,000 L/day capacity for initial uptake. Industry data indicates this segment to be 60 per cent of the overall global market.
