Current New Technology
Water Unlimited developed a novel and proprietary process to economically produce an inorganic nitrogen molecule using a net carbon negative process. The novel technology produces our Nitrogen Hydro Gel (NHG) above, which is a sustainable low cost efficient fertilizer. NHG is an environmentally responsible soil amendment that will not contribute to pollution runoff into rivers and streams since it is a hydrophobic stable molecule that stays where you apply it. NHG will not combust and is not flammable or explosive adding another positive characteristic. Manufacture of NHG consumes CO2 from the atmosphere and can participate in carbon credits. NHG is not made from ammonia or waste products and will not harm plants or roots with direct contact. NHG is miscible and can be mixed with traditional irrigation equipment and is easily stored with a 2 year shelf-life.
Unlimited Potential
- At Water Unlimited Technologies we use Innovative Technology in Practical Applications having to do with Water. Our products are Sustainable and use no chemicals and produce no liquid waste streams. Our technology employs Heterogeneous Nucleation, gravity and small amounts of electricity. Our designs typically incorporate the philosophy of being able to be produced close to the point of use and scalable from small to large.
We currently are pursuing the following projects and products listed in priority:
1. Nitrogen Hydro Gel (NHG) – Nitrogen in a gel form suitable for use as a fertilizer for farm crops. Ranging in densities of 15% to 20% nitrogen. Unlike traditional fertilizer our product is not derived from Ammonia and Urea.
2. Decontamination of Reverse Osmosis (RO) Seawater and Brine Desalination Plants liquid Waste Streams. These Plants are providing the necessary function of additional fresh water but produce a waste stream which is a disposal issue due to its ultra-high salinity. Florida already has over 150 of these plants with more every year.
3. Production of Chlorine Dioxide from our reactors without the use of acids. Chlorine Dioxide is a powerful sanitizing agent used to keep fresh water fresh.
4. Decontamination and desalination of raw Seawater to potable water. This is our end goal but requires the most resources and further development.
Low CapEx and OpEx
We are focusing on producing commercial quantities of our NHG product due to the impending need due to the shortages occurring. Fertilizer has a significant impact on the quantities of food produced and current shortages has not only tripled its cost but is threatening adequate food production.
The resulting environment surrounding fertilizers makes this an ideal time for us to enter its market. We are soliciting potential investors and partners for this commercialization effort. Complete business plan and proforma are available. If interested please contact us via email below.
Seawater Desalination
Decontamination and Desalination
Water Unlimited Technologies employs Heterogeneous Nucleation to transform raw seawater or salt-infused brackish water into potable water. Our process provides additional byproducts with potential commercial value. We can:
- Convert seawater or brackish groundwater to potable water that meets all standards for human consumption
- Convert seawater to water fit for agricultural uses
- Transform the waste stream from a conventional reverse osmosis desalination plant into potable water and a commercial salt product
The Water Unlimited Technologies process also extracts polyamines from raw seawater. These are high in nitrogen content making them suitable for use in fertilizer production. In addition, when mixed with lignin, the polyamines can be used for the production of thermosetting plastics like fast food cups, plates and containers. Unlike current fast food container products, these will be biodegradable with the potential to open a new market that can be both profitable and environmentally friendly.
The Company's water purification process involves a series of steps that remove polyamines and other impurities from brackish or salt-infused water. Then the heterogeneous nucleation process applies a controlled low-level, electric current to the input water that removes all salt content. The resulting salt residue can be dried and commercially processed for use as a deicing product in northern states to treat roads and other surfaces during winter. Four gallons of seawater, averaging 35 ppt of salt, will produce one pound of salt. The waste stream from a commercial reverse osmosis desalination plant is essentially a toxic salt slurry that after processing will produce a high content of commercial grade salt, in addition to a residual stream of potable water.
Because the Water Unlimited Technologies water treatment process uses no filters or membranes and operates at ambient pressure and temperature, there is no liquid waste stream or other waste product.
The Company is seeking opportunities to demonstrate the viability of our product at a scale that can lead to the creation of a production facility that can process an identified input stream - raw seawater, brackish groundwater or a desalination plant waste stream - into either potable water or water fit for agricultural uses.

Additional Information
Presently, the desalination industry in Florida is dominated by a technology known as reverse osmosis, or RO. This desalination process involves pumping salt water under pressure through a large multi-layer membrane that starts with larger particles and then progressively traps smaller and smaller particles until cleansed water emerges from the final filtration steps. The complete process involves both desalination and purification, and results in potable water suitable for human consumption. Today, there are more than 40 functioning RO desalination plants in Florida delivering close to 300 million gallons of water per day (MGPD) to the State's production of potable water. Thirty eight of these plants process brackish ground water, and two process seawater directly from the ocean. While reverse osmosis desalination is making an important and growing contribution to Florida's daily water consumption, there are some significant cost and drawback to the RO technology.
- The cost is much higher than water drawn from the Florida aquifer - $3 to $4 per 1,000 gallons. This due in large part to the need for power to force the salinated water through the filtration membrane. The application of such force also means that the filters must be inspected and repaired regularly - a further cost.
- The RO process is only 80% effective. Twenty percent or more of the processed salt water ends up in a waste slurry, also called brine, that is very high in salt content and must be disposed of.
- The waste stream must be disposed of in one of two ways. It is either pumped back into the ocean or it is deposited in deep injection wells situated below the Florida aquifer. The first method generates risk to plant and animal marine life by significantly altering the salination level in a defined area. The second disposal method involves drilling and maintaining an injection well that has a finite capacity and can potentially leak into surrounding geologic structures or even the aquifer above it.
- Because they are basically simpler version of an oil well, these waste storage wells are subject to regulation by the Florida Department of environment. And, require regular maintenance. Most significantly, once the well is full, the plant operator must seek a new disposal location.
