A former executive at American Superconductor, Angelo Robert Santamaria helped increase company revenues by $375 million over the course of four years. After leaving the firm, Angelo R. Santamaria served as vice president of global manufacturing with Oasys Water in Boston, Massachusetts.
Oasys Water has become a pioneer in the realm of water desalination due to its innovative use of integrated forward osmosis (FO) and other technologies. One of the company’s most advanced solutions is ClearFlo Membrane Brine Concentrator (MBCx).
Through its MBCx solution, Oasys Water delivers a revolutionary system that is capable of turning numerous types of wastewater into clean water. To this end, the platform pairs the use of the company’s patented FO membrane with a draw system to encourage better dispersal of water across the surface of the membrane. As water passes through, it filters into the recovery system, where it is heated. By raising the temperature of the water, MBCx turns it into a vapor that results in fresh water.
Using this system, wastewater from operations such as mining and electronics production can turn into usable water. As a result, organizations that use MBCx will be able to combat such challenges as high water recycling expenses and water shortages.
