About Helios

We simplify industrial waste management

Helios Innovations was founded in 2017 and develops modular, electric technology that makes industrial waste management simple.

Our Story

From Idea to Industrial Scale

Helios Innovations was founded on a simple belief: industrial evaporation — one of the most energy-demanding processes in water treatment — could be done simpler, cheaper, and greener. What started as a university-stage idea has grown into an award-winning, commercially proven technology deployed across Nordic industry.

2017

Idea born, Jonatan Persson sets out to rethink one of industry's most energy-intensive processes: evaporation.

2020

The technology is tested at industrial scale through seawater desalination.

2022

Transition to liquid waste management through lab and pilot trials.

2023

Full-scale waste treatment with the units “EVA” and “IDA” in Halmstad.

2024

Validated method for treating highly PFAS-contaminated water.

2025

CONTESS introduced. 10 units in operation.

A world without liquid waste

Helios Innovations is driven by a clear vision: a world without liquid waste. Through innovative liquid waste management, Helios helps industry reduce its footprint and take a step towards a more circular future. For Helios, this means handling and recycling water on-site to eliminate unnecessary transportation, maximizing the recovery of both concentrate and purified water, and contributing to a new mindset within the industry where contaminated water is not seen as waste, but as a resource.
