Master Briefing01
What it does, and why it matters
Desalination plants discharge mineral-rich reject brine to the sea while the same minerals are imported. Brine Resource Recovery converts SWCC-class reject brine into carbonates, salts, and treated water through a staged recovery train validated on a national brine atlas. At reference scale the stream supports ≈$65M/yr of product margin*.
