A Fresh Solution for Industries Facing Environmental Challenges
Our patented polymer system cleanses air and water resources by removing problematic chemicals and recapturing valuable elements – all for a more sustainable future.
Countertrace in action
The patented Countertrace polymer sorbent material is capable of selective mineral capture in most any medium, including water, oil, air, and other gas streams. Example targets include alkaline earth metals (Mg, Ca, Ba, and other scale formers), sulfates, boron, cesium, strontium, lithium, hydrocarbons, charged organics, hydrogen sulfide, and many more.
This same technology is used to create chemical sensors that react when exposed to a target species. As the polymer is exposed to the target, the reaction is quantified electronically by measuring changes in optical or electrical properties.

Carbon Capture
Carbon Capture
Utilizing Countertrace polymers for carbon capture can help your company advance innovation and achieve regulatory goals and incentives, while aligning with the global shift toward sustainability to improve your corporate reputation.
Oil & Gas Applications
Oil & Gas Applications
Whether it’s cleansing large volumes of wastewater needed for hydraulic fracturing or reclaiming minerals like vanadium in stranded oil deposits, Countertrace polymers can help cost effectively clean vital natural resources or recapture valuable elements.
Wastewater Applications
Wastewater Applications
Many industries generate wastewater that must be abated or disposed of at great financial cost. Countertrace polymers can target then selectively separate and remove chemicals and elements found in wastewater for virtually any industry, including semiconductor manufacturing, textiles, power generation, agriculture, petrochemicals, and many more.
Solution Mining Applications
Solution Mining Applications
Solution mining can result in contaminants ranging from heavy metals to salt brine to radioactive materials and more. Countertrace polymers can target a variety of hazardous elements for removal or target valuable minerals for recapture – like selective capture of lithium.
Overview of the Countertrace technology process.
1
Industrial activity results in water-borne or air-borne contaminants.
2
Countertrace polymers are programmed to capture what is valuable and separate what is problematic.
3
Contaminated fluids are pumped through Countertrace polymers.
4
Targeted materials are captured and removed, leaving clean fluid.
5
Clean water or air can be re-used or released.
6
Countertrace polymers can be rinsed and regenerated for re-use.
