The startup\u2019s tech could help offer a clean slate to the global wastewater treatment market which is expected to exceed USD 500 bn in value by the end of the decade, CNBC reports, citing <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/1199744\/market-size-water-and-wastewater-treatment-global\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Statista<\/a> estimates.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong style=\"background-color: transparent;\">The method is simple: <\/strong><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">Gradient\u2019s method involves heating wastewater until it turns into vapor and leaves the contaminants behind. Gradient says this method helps recover 99% of water as opposed to the standard 50-60%, helping save up 1.7 bn gallons of water daily.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Addressing a big problem: <\/strong>Some of the world\u2019s key industries, including pharma, food and beverage, textiles, mining, renewables and others consume most of the world\u2019s water. This has made the search for methods to recycle water cheaply necessary as water insecurity becomes a widespread problem. Other companies like Xylem and Veolia are also working on a technology similar to Gradiant that could be less energy intensive than traditional wastewater treatment methods.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Big players are backing: <\/strong>Some of Gradient\u2019s clients include leading industry players, including Coca-Cola, BMW, UAE\u2019s Adnoc, Pfizer and others with the startup boasting over USD 500 mn in new orders in 1H 2024.
