Voltea Named Breakthrough Water Technology Company of the Year

Company Wins Global Water Award for Successful Commercialization of
CapDI Technology

DALLAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Voltea, the global leader in electro-desalination water treatment
technology, was named the Breakthrough Water Technology Company of the
Year by Global Water Intelligence (GWI) at this week’s Global Water
Awards ceremony in Paris.

The awards, which recognize companies that make a significant
contribution to the worldwide water industry, were part of GWI’s Global
Water Summit. GWI cited Voltea’s “successful commercialization of its
CapDI© technology” as a key factor in earning the award.

“2017 saw Voltea’s capacitive deionisation (CapDI) technology take off
as one of the most successful alternatives to reverse osmosis in recent
years,” GWI said. “It gained significant market traction in the
industrial and commercial sectors, with over 100 systems being shipped.
The company also closed a $10 million funding round to further
accelerate its growth, and brought the full capacity of its robotic
module assembly plant in Dallas online.”

Voltea’s industrial and commercial CapDI© systems run with
patented CapDI technology, which monitors incoming water quality in real
time, and self-adjusts performance to ensure it delivers consistent,
precise water quality.

“We’re extremely grateful to be recognized by GWI for our disruptive
technology, which has transformed the way many industries treat water,”
said Voltea CEO Bryan Brister. “Our salt-free, chemical-free technology
is being used by some of the top companies in the world for a variety of
uses, from cooling towers to point-of-use water treatment for coffee and
fountain drinks.”

CapDI technology is a simple, two-step process wherein water flows
between electrodes. The electrode surfaces are separated from the water
by ion-selective membranes that allow positive or negative ions (salts)
to pass. The system is tunable, allowing adjustable salt removal and
continually adjusts to account for any fluctuations in feed water
characteristics.

The winners of the GWI awards were chosen by GWI subscribers and Global
Water Summit delegates.

“Voltea brings a compelling value proposition to clients who have
traditionally favored RO, particularly given the need for less
pretreatment and no remineralisation,” GWI said.

Voltea, which opened its production facility in the Dallas area about 18
months ago, has about 30 local employees and continues to grow.
