Micronic Technologies Secures $7M Seed Round to Revolutionize Zero Liquid Discharge for Industrial Wastewater Management

Micronic Technologies is thrilled to announce a successful funding round, having raised US$7,000,000 to accelerate its mission of transforming industrial wastewater management. With the USGS reporting that over 90% of U.S. industrial wastewater is not reused, Micronic’s innovative Tornadic One-Pass™ system is poised to shake up the market by enabling a zero liquid discharge approach. This groundbreaking technology not only cleans wastewater by removing over 99% of contaminants but also enables more than 95% water reuse, significantly reducing both CAPEX and OPEX by over 50%. Unlike traditional evaporation systems that rely on filters, membranes, or chemicals, Tornadic One-Pass™ simplifies the process while virtually eliminating disposal costs and water fees, all while recovering valuable resources from the concentrate. Micronic’s improvement comes at a crucial time as industries—from food and beverage to steel and pharmaceuticals—grapple with the challenges of costly water treatment and regulatory requirements. The company’s approach addresses these challenges head-on by providing an eco-friendly, economically viable solution perfectly aligned with the growing market demand in sectors where treated water can be directly reintegrated into manufacturing or washing processes. With a strategic first customer, the EPA, set to unveil a pilot installation in Q1 2022 supported by over US$500K in in-kind contributions, Micronic is well-positioned to showcase its technology to a wide range of prospective clients. Furthermore, the recent engagement with a leading cheese manufacturing firm, which has already invested US$25K towards R&D, underscores the broader potential of Micronic’s solution across the nearly 95 manufacturing plants in the US cheese market and beyond, including leachate treatment at landfills nationwide.
