Strategic Carbon and Total Machining Solutions Advancing Unique Water Recovery Technology

Strategic Carbon LLC (SC), a privately held technology consulting firm based in Corpus Christi, Texas, and Total Machining Solutions (TMS), based in Montgomery, Texas, continue to refine a highly unique water recovery, purification, and reuse system for drinking, global agricultural, data processing, municipal, and industrial clients.

First designed and engineered by Mark Law, TMS President, under U.S. Patent # 11752474B1, the Harmonic Frequency CascadeTM (HFC) technology reduces concentrations of toxic and cancer-causing organic contaminants in waste waters to and below Texas state regulations. With this degradation of organic molecules, water chemistry changes and results in precipitation of metals.  A thorough analysis of organic compounds and metals in advanced laboratories in the Department of Physical and Environmental Science at Texas A&M University Corpus Christi have been used to extensively confirm efficient HFC operations in frack, sewage, and natural waters. 

Mr. Law notes that the HFC system provides industries with a highly cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and predictable solution for treating contaminated effluent. “We work closely with the principals and scientists at Strategic Carbon, leveraging their extensive expertise in analyzing complex organic mixtures. Their advanced analytical methods deliver ultrahigh resolution and accuracy, enabling the quantification and identification of thousands of individual organic compounds. This capability provides our clients with high levels of confidence in the quality of their water.”   

HFC treats water for a broad range of industrial, municipal, and agricultural applications, with low energy requirements and significant cost savings. The portable HFC unit consists of a cylindrical housing containing two, counter-rotating, separately driven, multi-stage cylinders providing multiple interfaces to produce required fluid shear. Processing volume for one HFC unit readily exceeds 2,300 barrels/day at 10 PSI, with rates that can be increased tenfold when required. Key features of the HFC system include:

  • Degradation of natural organic, petroleum-based, and other anthropogenic compounds (herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides, as well as pharmaceuticals)
  • Precipitated removal of cadmium, iron, nickel, and lead, among a total of 11 metals 
  • Atmospheric emissions-free operations

Both Strategic Carbon and TMS are privately held and currently engaging U.S. water/wastewater treatment companies, industry investors, agricultural owners and developers, and environmental regulatory agencies.
