Eden Tech develops a patented Reverse Osmosis Centrifuge (ROC), a modular desalination system that produces higher freshwater recovery from high-salinity and complex brines with reduced waste. The technology targets seawater and brackish desalination, oil & gas produced water treatment, zero liquid discharge, and brine mining for mineral recovery.

Company profile
researched Aug 2026Eden Technologies Inc. (Eden Tech) is a water treatment technology company developing Genesis, a patented reverse osmosis centrifuge system aimed at raising freshwater recovery from high-salinity water while reducing the volume of waste brine produced. The company states Genesis can deliver up to twice as much freshwater from high-salinity feedwater, enabling zero liquid discharge (ZLD) and brine mining applications. The system is described as compact and modular, and the company's Genesis unit is built in Lockhart, Texas.
The company targets three application areas: produced water from oil and gas operations, seawater and brackish water desalination, and brine mining, where high-salinity complex brines are concentrated to enable mineral recovery and reduce the load on ZLD systems. Earlier company descriptions framed the approach as proprietary reverse osmosis technology that appends to existing desalination plants and RO system waste streams, further concentrating the waste stream so that plant freshwater output rises and the residual brine becomes more manageable or harvestable, rather than replacing existing plant infrastructure.
Founding story
Eden Technologies was founded by Hunter Manz, who according to a 2022 profile began working on water scarcity at age 14 and later founded the company out of a garage while at Dixie State University. Zack Manweiler joined as CTO and lead engineer after Manz approached him with the reverse osmosis centrifuge concept, and Reece P. Thompson joined after co-constructing Dixie State University's business incubator program, contributing to identifying initial customers.
Business model
Eden Technologies develops and builds its own patented desalination hardware platform, Genesis, positioned to integrate with existing desalination plants and RO systems rather than replace them, and serves industrial and municipal water treatment applications.
Traction
Reported seed financing of over $750,000 (March 2022) and a $250,000 Utah Innovation Fund award (December 2023). The company lists partners including Ideaship, Utah Tech University, Utah Innovation Fund, Proto Town, 021 VC, Texas Produced Water Consortium, Aqua Advise, Balky Studio and Gene's Machine, and states that a Genesis unit has been built in Lockhart, Texas. Company size was listed as 2-10 people.
Latest developments
The company markets Genesis as its patented reverse osmosis centrifuge platform, built in Lockhart, Texas, across produced water, seawater and brackish desalination, and brine mining applications, and solicits inquiries on investment, produced water, desalination and brine mining.
▸Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, history
Market position
Eden Technologies presents itself as an early-stage technology provider addressing known limitations of desalination — plant scale and land use, capital and energy consumption, and ecological damage from brine waste streams — by improving recovery at existing facilities.
Technology
The core technology is a patented reverse osmosis centrifuge, marketed as Genesis, which combines reverse osmosis membrane separation with centrifugal operation to achieve high water recovery and energy efficiency in a compact, modular unit. The company reports up to 2x more freshwater from high-salinity water with less waste, and positions the platform to concentrate complex brines to support mineral recovery and reduce the burden on zero liquid discharge systems. Earlier descriptions also cite membrane technology and renewable energy integration.
Go-to-market
Oil and gas operators with produced water challenges, seawater and brackish water desalination plant operators, and brine mining or mineral recovery operations; earlier material references municipal desalination plants and existing RO system operators.
Geography
Headquarters and operations listed at 1309 Westwood Rd., Lockhart, Texas, where the Genesis system is built; the company originated in southern Utah, with an earlier listed address in Washington, Utah, and ties to Utah Tech University and the Utah Innovation Fund.
History
The company was founded in 2020 and was profiled in January 2022 as a Utah-based startup working on reverse osmosis, membrane and renewable-energy innovations for desalination. It raised over $750,000 in seed financing reported in March 2022 and received a $250,000 award from the Utah Innovation Fund reported in December 2023. Its current operations and contact address are in Lockhart, Texas, where the Genesis system is built; an earlier listing gives an address in Washington, Utah.
