"IW share our direction, motivation and ambition and we are excited to begin this partnership,” Mark Hardiman, LAT Water CEO said in a statement. “This funding enables us to push forwards our targets of providing innovative, sustainable, low-cost solutions for wastewater treatment."

The LAT technology process separates and recovers clean water from contaminated industrial water using waste heat. The system is said to be highly scalable and can be installed for treating flows from one to over 1,000 cubic metres per day of effluent, delivering up to 60 per cent cost savings for the operator whilst reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

According to LAT Water, the process is capable of treating wastewater for a range of applications, including wastewater from landfill sites. In this application, the process helps with the odour associated with such sites as well as reducing the need to transport waste off-site for treatment.
