GreenTech California (GTC)™ Information

Our Mission: To use innovative technology in water treatment systems with long term monitoring and continuous improvement - to reduce chemicals, energy costs and pollutants to protect our community and environment. Our Methodology: GTC and UCI have, since 2012, solved three problems of high chemical costs, energy costs and pollutants by creating millions of nanobubbles ("NBs") using a uniquely patented NB generator. Each NB attracts salts and/or metals to form large clusters. The clusters are too large to pass through a Reverse Osmosis (RO) membrane. As a result, membrane fouling is significantly reduced, and RO can be operated without adding any anti-scalant chemicals. Our Benefits: Reduces the cost of chemicals for pre-treatment and CIP of up to 90%. Reduces the risk of operator personnel being harmed by chemical mishandling. Reduces the costs of electricity used due to lower pressures as a result of less scaling and/or biofilm restrictions. Increases life of filters and RO membranes - less frequent cleaning and harsh chemicals. The Company GreenTech California (GTC) is a C corporation with the designation of a for-profit Public Benefit Corporation started in 2015. It is a University of California Irvine (UCI) Wayfinder Incubator company and a UCI National Science Foundation I-Corps ("NSF I-Corps") cohort company. Our Patents: One of the keys of GreenTech California (GTC), is the assigning of the patents to the University of California, Board of Regents by the co-inventors - with the exclusive rights granted to GTC. The patent on the use of nanobubbles in fine filters and RO systems is extremely valuable and restricts any others from using nanobubbles in Water Treatment Plants and systems. In effect, GTC has exclusive rights to use their technology in all municipal water treatment plants worldwide as well as large commercial and industrial water treatment plants.
