FORTecx’s first challenge is to address one of the world’s most pressing environmental challenges: the processing and remediation of water contaminated with various hydrocarbons (oils, fuels etc) together with other numerous chemicals both liquids & solids.
Such contaminated liquids are most commonly referred to as “Slops.”
The many forms of Slops are byproducts of various human activities and have a very significant negative impact on the environment if they are not properly managed.
FORTecx Target Markets
All types of shipping, the many forms of the oil industries, road transportation, the many forms of manufacturing, municipal wastewater treatment, mining and drilling operations, the food and beverage industries, and many more.
But the largest future market if going to be the Environmental Cleanup and Remediation.
FORTecx’s goal is to develop chemical/physical processes that can quickly, efficiently, and cost-effectively recover 99% of the hydrocarbons in their purest form, recycle any other contaminants, and most importantly, decontaminate the water so that it can be reused or safely returned to the environment.
The scale and complexity of global Slops processing are highlighted in the following two market analysis reports. Notably, the first report was produced by our in-house management team using traditional research methods, while the second was produced utilising generative AI tools.
