Micronic Technologies develops Tornadic One-Pass™, a Zero Liquid Discharge water purification system that cleans water from virtually any source in one pass without membranes, filters, or chemicals and meets federal and state standards. The technology is touted to reduce wastewater volume by 95% and remove over 99% of contaminants. Micronic targets multiple use cases including oil & gas, mining, agriculture, food and beverage, pharmaceutical industries, and municipal landfills. The company is woman-led and based in a Southwest Virginia Opportunity Zone and aims to commercialize the technology and create high-paying manufacturing jobs in the region. Micronic previously received a Virginia Founders Fund seed financing in 2019 and is pursuing broader commercialization and regional impact. The team and investors emphasize the environmental and economic benefits of on-site treatment and reuse enabled by the technology. Micronic Technologies develops MicroEVAP, a water purification system that removes virtually all contaminants and produces potable water in one pass without membranes, filters, or chemicals. The company says MicroEVAP can reduce wastewater volume by 95 percent, remove most contaminants by 99 percent, and is projected to cost 65 percent less than competing technologies. Micronic will use the investment from CIT’s Virginia Founders Fund to finalize the design and fabrication of its flagship product. The technology has already been tested with potential customers and demonstrated efficient purification of contaminated water sources. Micronic is executing a second development grant with the Tobacco Region Revitalization Commission, and this investment qualifies as a match for that grant. The company plans to place MicroEVAP at the EPA’s National Risk Management Research Laboratory for evaluation and to run customer pilot sites.
