History
Brisben Water has been an innovative force in water treatment and other clean technologies for almost a decade. Before environmental and corporate social responsibility became industry buzzwords, Brisben Water was developing technologies with economic and environmental benefit to help solve large-scale industry challenges. The Company extends this ongoing commitment by also donating two percent of our annual revenues to help further environmental initiatives around the world.
Our earliest patented technologies led to the development of advanced robotic coating removal technologies to safely remove the heavy coatings and corrosion from large steel surfaces common to major transport industries. In the shipping industry, cargo ships can now be cleaned in a fraction of the time and cost of traditional methods, with no risk of contamination for shipyard workers or for sensitive marine environments.
Brisben Water Technologies transformed its water engineering technologies to meet a critical need for reliable, self-contained emergency water filtration systems among first responder organizations. This need reached a critical point in the wake of 9/11, the Banda Aceh Tsunami and Hurricane Katrina. The company’s Mobile Emergency Filtration System (MEFS) played a pivotal role in providing safe drinking water to thousands of people in Waveland, Mississippi in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

Working in Harmony with the Environment
“When people use the term life-support system…I think of our planet and the wealth of natural resources that keep us alive. Our health and security as human beings depends on how successful we are at keeping the world's resources healthy and secure. Corporations can play an enormous role in this effort, and that's why I serve on Brisben Water Technologies' Advisory Board.”
Jean-Michel Cousteau, Ocean Explorer

Brisben Water Technologies' most recent 'eco-technology' breakthrough is Brisben Water Ozonix™, a water treatment process with the potential to reduce oil industry production costs by billions of dollars by helping oil producers recover precious water resources. Brisben Water Ozonix™ holds great potential for ballast water treatment in the maritime industry, and for use in off-grid locations lacking access to clean water resources.
We have established eco-alliances with leaders in business, industry, government and environmental organizations. Together, we are developing technologies, products and best practices to ensure clean water availability in emergency disaster situations, and enable more environmentally responsible water management practices for industry. Our commitment to the environment continues as we help to solve other global engineering challenges in the future. Support for the Ocean Futures Society is but one example of how Brisben Water Technologies exemplifies the power of corporations and conservationists to collaborate and effectively pursue common goals for the common good.
