Revolutionary Water Recycling Technology
$1,961,462.50 Raised
REASONS TO INVEST
A $75 billion annual market in need: 150 billion barrels of oil & gas produced water going to waste
Experienced team with 20+ years in Department of Energy innovations, leveraging patented technology developed in Los Alamos Laboratory
A ground breaking product: IX Water's proprietary and environmentally friendly technology cuts current costs by 50%
“When oil prices go down, the only thing you can do to maintain profitability is to cut costs. That’s where we come in!”
Our Story
Unique contaminants require a unique approach
Scientists at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and the University of Texas researched ways to increase the amount of potable water for their very arid, high plains states by recycling industrial wastewater. After nearly a decade of research, they developed a series of cold reactors that utilize a series of unique filtration media that can be recharged in the field and used hundreds of times, before replacing the media.
It changed everything.
The Problem
Oil & Gas recovery produces tons of unusable water, which is expensive & difficult to dispose of
The process of mining for oil and gas leaves behind a byproduct of large amounts of water. We believe this water, due to its contamination with toxic pollutants such as heavy metals, hydrocarbons, and sulfur compounds, is useless and therefore presents companies with the expensive and energy-intensive task of disposing of the water.
Current methods of disposal include deep well injections, and open pit evaporation, both of which are very expensive and can cause environmental damage, as well as other costly and energy-intensive approaches.
Traditional industrial water evaporation pit - used to separate sludge from water
The Solution
IX Water has created a way to recycle this contaminated water
We've developed a system to treat water that is at least 50% less expensive than other methods. With the enormous gas and oil industry in front of us, we believe our cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution will be hard to pass. On top of all of this... we're hoping to keep this leg up as our technology is already patented.
The Market
$75 billion annual market opportunity
In 2019 the global oil and gas industry produced 150 billion barrels of contaminated water.
This represents a $75 billion market opportunity for the treatment of produced water.
Our Traction
Patents acquired and first purchases received!
The technology was invented by scientists and engineers at the world-renowned Los Alamos National Laboratory in a unique collaboration with the University of Texas and New Mexico Tech, and then productized and commercially tested by the IX-Force.
After acquiring the rights to our patents, we spent years designing, developing, and testing our commercial products.
We’ve won multiple grants and competitions in the startup and produced water worlds, and after validating our product with industry, we began our commercial sales program in the summer of 2019.
Since then we’ve received our first three purchases, as well as made strides in the manufacturing space by landing a key partner in the industry.
IX water portable demonstration units (1/5th scale)
What We Do
We make recycling produced water both economically and environmentally feasible
We manufacture and sell multiple products predicated on our proprietary technology. Our systems remove 99.81% of all contaminants from water (meeting US EPA, European Union, and Chinese regulations standards) at less than 50% of the cost of traditional treatment methods — all the while minimizing waste.
The proof is plain to see
Below is a chart showing a typical IX Water pre and post treatment analysis.
IX Water does the job!
The Business Model
Gas and Oil service companies buy our machines
Each one of our modules costs around $450,000, and can be connected in a system with up to 25 modules — meaning sales can range up to $12 million per order.
We also generate revenue through the sale of replacement products and maintenance of our machines.
OUR PROJECTIONS
Management has taken a conservative approach to our operating plan.
Given the very large market for our products, sales projections take into account many factors. This includes the size of the market, geographic proximity of targeted customers, the number of IX Water machines that can be built using existing our resources, supply chain, and sub-contracting capabilities, the number of units that can be reasonably sold per salesperson per year, and the “contact to contract” steps and time required.
The use of authorized representatives, marketing partners, as well as formal manufacturer’s reps provides IX Water with a “force multiplier” for its internal sales team and marketing efforts, greatly expanding our ability to sell our products world-wide.
Overhead may appear low, but that is because Management includes the cost of manufacturing labor in Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) given our “just in time” manufacturing model.
IX Water product manufacturing relies on many out-sourced components. These include reactor casks, pumps, piping, as well as control and monitoring software and hardware. The Company has a supply chain where at least two sources within each geographic market can supply our components and raw materials.
Adequate cash flow is achieved because industrial customers are used to paying 50% of the cost of such products as a down payment, and international customers normally provide a letter of credit through an internationally-recognized bank with which IX Water’s bank can determine credit-worthiness and milestone-based payments.
*For the above chart, please see the forward-looking statements disclosure in Part I of Addendum 1 to this Exhibit A of the Company's Form C.
HOW WE ARE DIFFERENT
We reduce the complexity of traditional water treatment while lowering the cost
We believe that traditional water and sewage treatment methods just don’t cut it when it comes to industrial wastewater. Large construction and service firms have been trying to solve the problem of oil & gas produced water for years, and in our opinion they have failed. The reason these other companies fail in our view is because they bring to bear traditional water treatment tech — lots of land, chemicals, additives, and old fashioned methods. In fact, some of our competitors literally bid plant cost based on how much concrete they can pour, and how many of their people they can sell to operate the plant.
IX Water is different. Our modular machines provide real-time treatment in a modular fashion, that integrates with existing equipment, are easily scaled, and can be operated by a single person.
Our systems are much cheaper to buy and operate, and leave a dramatically less amount of waste than our competitors.
We Use our Own Products
As part of our commercial testing and product refinement, we processed millions of gallons of water at a facility near Denver. The water intake was the nastiest produced and industrial water imaginable.
IX Water machines worked at such a high efficiency and efficacy that we secured a permit to put the treated water back into the South Platte River Basin.
The Vision
Once the industry catches wind of us, there won’t be another choice
Since we believe our product to be superior to our competitors on both the grounds of environmental sustainability and economic efficiency, we believe that within a few years we will become the default choice for produced water treatment of companies within the gas and oil extraction industry.
Our Team
We know how to solve big problems
Our team has over 20 years of success commercializing Department of Energy innovations, and has spun out seven firms in the process.
We are a group of innovators with experience commercializing solutions for some of the world’s most intimidating problems, such as pandemic modeling and safer nuclear reactors.
The original lead inventor of our tech, Dr. Jeri Sullivan, remains on board as well. Dr. Sullivan is a giant in the wastewater management field, and her expertise and experience are considered world class by her peers.
Why Invest
Join us in the marriage between economic efficiency and environmental sustainability
We know that the best way to create real change in the way our private industries handle the environment is to make the sustainable solution the only economically viable choice. That is what we have done with IX Water.
You should invest in IX Water if you believe that we need to protect our planet, and one way to do that is through innovative and economically feasible market solutions.

IX Water Presented with "Impact Company of the Year” Award
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DotCom Magazine Presents IX Water with
“America’s Most Impactful Privately Held Companies” Award
GOLDEN, CO; OCTOBER 20, 2022— IX Power Clean Water (IX Water) today announced that it has been selected as one of DotCom Magazine’s “Impact Company of the Year” Award Winners!
Every year DotCom Magazine reveals its annual list of America's most impactful privately held companies and IX Water is proud to have been selected to join in 2021. The DotCom Magazine 2021 Impact Company of The Year Awards celebrates entrepreneurs and their companies who adapt to changing times and make an impact. Andy Jacob, CEO of DotCom Magazine says, “When a company makes an impact, not only are they helping their clients, but they are also helping the world become a better place.”
IX Power Clean Water (IX Water) is helping to solve the water crisis by providing the most effective and cost-efficient solution that’s available today for the treatment of toxic industrial wastewater from factories, mining operations, and oil and gas drilling operations. IX Water’s patented new technology originated at the U.S. National Laboratory at Los Alamos, which collaborated with New Mexico Tech and the University of Texas. A video about IX Water can be found at: https://bit.ly/IxWater_DotCom.
The company now manufactures different machines to address specific, individual contaminants such as heavy metals, organic hydrocarbons, scalants, and other contaminants that are often microscopically dissolved in the wastewater, and thus incredibly difficult to remove. The different reactors are transported to a site and then linked together. These modular reactors, containing its reusable media, allow for the relatively quick construction of a scalable, custom water treatment facility. The technology utilized dramatically cuts down the amount of residual waste product because its media highly concentrates contaminant waste and, is rechargeable to enable a year’s worth of operation before replacement is required. No chemicals or additives are utilized in the operation of an IX Water treatment machine.
“At IX Water, we take a prescriptive approach,” said John R. Grizz Deal, CEO. “We holistically review all the contaminants in wastewater and create a system that turns an industry liability into an asset — for recycling, reuse, or even resale. Our solution enables clients to save 50% or more over the cost of other systems available today.”
IX Water is based in Golden, Colorado, and has offices in Mexico and China. More information about the company can be found at www.IxWater.com. The company is currently crowdfunding at StartEngine.com/Ix-Water.

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000, are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, he/she is limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.
At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.
Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.
StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements. To learn more about Regulation Crowdfunding, click here, and for Regulation A+, click here.
