MAGNETIC PARTICLE EXTRACTION

Smart Water Treatment with Magnetic Particle Extraction (MPE)

Exclusive, efficient, and scalable alternative to traditional treatment infrastructure — lower energy, next to no waste stream, targeted contaminant removal.

THE ANSWER: MPE

We dose the water with magnetic nanoparticles. They bind to the target contaminant. A magnetic field then pulls them out. No large concentrate stream. No two-billion-dollar plant.

Three steps. Dose. Bind. Separate.

Dose

We add magnetic nanoparticles to the water. Each one is engineered for a specific contaminant. This is where the precision starts.

01

Bind

The nanoparticles bind to the target — arsenic, heavy metals, organics, pathogens, whatever the water is carrying. Now it can be removed.

02

Separate

A magnetic field pulls the loaded particles out. Clean water on one side. A tiny, concentrated waste fraction on the other.

03

PFAS REMOVAL

The question was never really "can you remove it."

For years the question was simple. Can you remove my contaminant?

Most technologies can say yes. So, on its own, that answer stopped meaning much.

PFAS changed all that. Removal became the easy part. The hard part was what to do with the concentrate left on site, waiting to be buried, at huge expense.

At NTS, we concentrate the waste stream into less than 0.01% of the feed water, making it economical to destroy. So ends the the most expensive game of “Pass the PFAS Parcel” ever played.

So, the question now is very different. Not "can you remove it?" Its now “how do we get rid of it, forever?!” That is the question we answer.

INDUSTRIES WE SERVE

At NanoTech Systems, we specialise in advanced water treatment technologies using Magnetic Particle Extraction (MPE). Our services are designed to help industries achieve cleaner water, reduce costs, and meet environmental goals with precision and reliability.

Delivering smarter, cleaner, and more sustainable water solutions.

Water Utilities

Turn more water into productive water. NTS helps growers and agricultural businesses remove contaminants such as chloride, nutrients and pathogens from recycled and groundwater, improving water quality for irrigation, livestock and food production. Our mobile, low-energy technology can upgrade water where it is needed, helping protect crops, reduce pressure on freshwater supplies and make water reuse commercially practical.

Water utilities are being asked to deliver cleaner water, meet tighter standards and manage ageing infrastructure without endlessly building bigger treatment plants. NTS uses magnetic particle extraction to target contaminants including PFAS, ammonia, phosphorus and pathogens. Our modular systems can complement existing infrastructure, produce dramatically less waste than many conventional methods and give utilities a faster path from treatment challenge to measurable outcome.

Agriculture

Mining & Commercial

Contaminated water should not be an unavoidable cost of doing business. NTS helps mining and commercial operators selectively remove difficult contaminants, including PFAS, arsenic, barium and other metals, before they damage equipment, restrict water reuse or create expensive disposal liabilities. Our configurable, low-energy systems can be deployed on site to recover cleaner water, reduce waste volumes and turn a costly problem into a reusable resource.
