"I built this to separate microalgae from water — and realized it will work almost everywhere."
What started as a solution for a salt‑water aquarium became a platform for industrial separation.
Solid‑State Separation
The spinning‑disk era is over.
No moving parts. No chemicals. No clogging. No compromises.
High shear, pressure, chemicals, clogging, downtime — that's the mechanical era. This is the upgrade.
Two modules. One platform.
The Separation Module
Designed for rugged, real-world streams. It shapes internal conditions so particles behave in predictable ways — enabling bulk movement, clarification, or concentration without clog-prone barriers or high mechanical force.
The Conditioning Module
Designed for precision and control. It influences how dissolved or fine-scale components behave inside the module, enabling stabilization, conditioning, or polishing steps that benefit from gentle, tunable environments.

Built for Real‑World Streams
Solid‑state separation adapts to real‑world variability across biological, chemical, and mineral streams.
A solid‑state separation platform built for real‑world industrial streams.
EK‑Drive creates controlled internal environments that move particles, droplets, and charged species without mechanical force.
How It Works
- Electric fields create motion inside the fluid — not through mechanical force
- Particles migrate based on charge, size, and surface properties
- Streams separate continuously with no clogging, fouling, or downtime
- Modules combine to condition, concentrate, clarify, or separate — all on one platform
Why It Matters
Traditional separation relies on force: shear, pressure, rotation, filtration.
EK‑Drive relies on physics, not mechanics — enabling separation in environments where mechanical systems fail.
