Gradiant, Technology Leader in Solving Critical Water Problems, Receives Coveted Global Water Awards
Gradiant was honored with “Distinction – Water Technology Company of the Year” at the Global Water Awards 2022 for innovations like CFRO and SmartOps. Synauta, recently acquired by Gradiant, received “Breakthrough Technology Company of the Year” for its AI-driven desalination performance optimization, affirming Gradiant’s leadership in digital and sustainable water solutions.
Water shortage has been a concern in the Western U.S. and with more proposed chip fabs in those areas, industrial water recycling is critical to avoid scarcity.
Boston Business Journal met with Gradiant’s co-founders to discuss business momentum, its latest funding round, and plans for global wastewater sustainability.
Gradiant has secured over $100 million in Series C funding, led by Warburg Pincus and Schlumberger New Energy. The investment accelerates Gradiant’s global growth, particularly in Asia Pacific, to deliver cleantech water solutions focused on reuse, recovery, and zero liquid discharge across industries including microelectronics, pharmaceuticals, and food and beverage.
Gradiant and SAWACO have successfully demonstrated deployment of Counter Flow Reverse Osmosis (CFRO) in Jeddah, extracting 50% more freshwater from reject brine. The pilot’s success will scale to 5,000 m³/day, with plans reaching 15,000 m³/day. A joint venture is underway to deploy CFRO across Saudi Arabia, supporting sustainable, high-efficiency desalination at an industrial scale.
MIT Technology Review is proud to announce MIT alumni and Gradiant CEO Anurag Bajpayee is inducted into the 2020 Class of Innovators Under 35.
Gradiant Co-Founder & CEO Anurag Bajpayee speaks with Singapore radio station 89.3 Money FM about the importance of wastewater and industrial water recycling.
Gradiant has launched operations in China with the commissioning of its first zero liquid discharge (ZLD) plant for a highly contaminated flue gas desulphurization (FGD) wastewater in a coal-fired power facility. Leveraging its proprietary Carrier Gas Extraction (CGE) technology, Gradiant China will deliver industrial water solutions tailored for power, textile, chemical, and oil & gas sectors amid rising demand for sustainable wastewater treatment.
