Traditional Technologies Fall Short
- Reverse Osmosis (RO): High pressure, high energy, prone to fouling
- Membrane Filtration (UF/NF): Limited by fouling and short membrane life
- Chemical Treatment: High chemical consumption and disposal costs
- Thermal Evaporation: Energy-intensive and not sustainable at scale
Carbion Corp. is seeking distribution for its exclusive globally licensed patented carbon electrode technology for metal plating and concentrating.
The Result: An Urgent Need for Disruption
CarbionTech Inc.
The carbon solution for 21st century water contamination, metal recovery, and energy storage.
The Solution: Better Carbon
Conventional Carbon
With conventional materials, the surface area is the cross-sectional area — limiting the number of ions that can be captured to a small fraction of what's needed. In CDI systems this means multiple regeneration cycles to discharge captured ions.
Carbiontech!
Carbiontech is a modified carbon with thousands of square inches of solid-to-fluid surface area for every square inch of cross section. Its surface is pitted and fissured like craters on the moon — making actual solid-to-liquid contact area astronomical.
What Is Capacitive Deionization (CDI)?
CDI is a proven, cost-effective technology for removing salt and inorganic chemicals — including heavy metals — from polluted water sources such as mining effluents and brackish water.
CDI operates at low voltages and pressures — offering more cost-effective performance than reverse osmosis. Carbiontech's ultra-high-density ionic capture carbon takes CDI from the research lab to real-world scale.

Why Carbiontech Wins
4x
Surface Area
- Best-in-class today: ~400 m²/g. Carbiontech: 1,745 m²/g commercially, 2,500 m²/g
10x
Lower Mfg. Cost
- Approximately 1/10th the manufacturing cost of present activated carbons.
40x
Benefit/Cost Edge
Combined surface area and cost advantages yield up to a 40-fold benefit/cost advantage
25-30%
Porosity
Void space allows any solution to penetrate deeply and completely throughout the material.
Core Applications
Desalination & Toxic Metal Removal
Removes harmful salts, heavy metals (arsenic, selenium, lead, mercury), and radioactive metallic ions from brackish water. Uses only 1.5 KwH/1,000 gallons vs. 10–12 KwH for reverse osmosis.
Metal Plating & Recovery add -on to exsiting electrolysis
Recovers cathode-grade metals from mining effluents. Reduces electrical costs up to 45%, eliminates acid misting, and removes the need for costly solvent extraction (SX).
Energy Storage
(Supercapacitor)
Massive energy storage as a supercapacitor for wind, solar, and tidal energy. Achieves 300,000 farads in a 16 cubic foot space — 6.7 farads per gram of carbon.
The Mining Water Market Opportunity
A $14.7 Billion Market
- The global water and wastewater management market for mining is projected to grow from $14.7 billion in 2026 to approximately $30.38 billion by 2035, representing a CAGR of 8.4%.
- The mining water treatment systems market is separately estimated to grow from $4.75 billion in 2024 to around $7.85 billion by 2033, at a CAGR of 5.8%.
The Brackish Desalination Market Is Surging
- The global brackish water desalination systems market is projected to expand from USD 12.1 billion in 2025 to USD 29.5 billion by 2034, at a CAGR of 10.4% www.usdanalytics.com.
- This growth is supported by rising municipal, agricultural, and industrial water demand, especially in arid and semi-arid zones such as the southwestern U.S., coastal India, and parts of the Middle East www.usdanalytics.com.
- In California, the state’s Water Supply Strategy targets 84,000 acre-feet of brackish desalination capacity by 2040, underscoring aggressive infrastructure commitments
Startup Stage
- Primary step is incoporating Mag Water systems with CDI
