| Glacier Technologies, Inc. (GTI) is innovation in action. The GTI philosophy is demonstrated by taking in a challenging task and finding workable solutions, most of the time by inventing. In 1979 it took a large Bedouin settlement project in Saudi Arabia that was losing millions of dollars and in the course of thirty months turned it around making it one of the largest food producers, processers and marketers in the Middle East. This was accomplished by finding the right technology, testing it and then implementing it. The result was cutting the labor force from 600 to 50 and using the same quantity of water to irrigate double the area. When the limited liability company (NADEC) went public, its capitalization was covered four times to 1200 million SR within less than a month. |
| GTI has recently worked on salt production for the chemical industry. While working on a surface mine, GTI found that the salt layer near the surface was not continuous and heavy equipment was getting stuck in the mud. Within a month GTI came up with a solution that saved 70% of production cost while overcoming the obstacles at the site. The quality of the salt produced by the GTI invention exceeded the quality of traditional methods practiced previously at the site. The invented process was patented by GTI and is called: Salt Brine Capillary Crystallization. |
| GTI’s main focus is water, mainly potable water. GTI invents solutions, develops and manages water for domestic use with an emphasis on large scale brackish water desalination and uses renewable energy to desalinate sea water. |
Territory
GTI’s main emphasis is the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council states: Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, United Arab Emirates and Oman) but also works in the rest of the Middle East and North Africa. It maintains an office in the US and Saudi Arabia. |
