OriginOil, Inc. (OTCMKTS: OCLN) is an American technology company specializing in the development of innovative systems for the extraction of oils and the treatment of water. Initially focused on algae-based biofuel production, OriginOil has leveraged its core Electro Water Separation (EWS) technology to address a range of industrial and environmental applications. The company’s proprietary process uses controlled electrical pulses to permeabilize cell walls, facilitating the efficient release of intracellular oils, proteins and other valuable components.
Central to OriginOil’s product lineup is the Algae Appliance, a modular system designed for continuous algae cultivation, harvesting and oil extraction. This turnkey solution integrates photobioreactors, automated monitoring and EWS modules, enabling customers to operate pilot- and commercial-scale biofuel and aquaculture facilities. Beyond algae, the EWS platform has been adapted for advanced oxidation processes (AOP) in water treatment, targeting contaminants such as microplastics, PFAS and other emerging pollutants. This diversification reflects the company’s strategic shift from pure biofuel applications to a broader suite of environmental technologies.
Over the years, OriginOil has deployed demonstration and commercial units in key markets across North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. Collaborations with research institutions and industrial partners have helped validate its technologies in municipal wastewater treatment plants, food and beverage processing operations and offshore aquaculture farms. By offering both capital equipment and process-optimization services, the company supports clients in reducing energy consumption, lowering chemical use and enhancing resource recovery.
Founded in 2007 and headquartered in Los Angeles, OriginOil is led by President and Chief Executive Officer Riggs Eckelberry, a longtime advocate for renewable energy and environmental stewardship. Under his direction, the company maintains a network of regional representatives and service partners to deliver technical support and project implementation on a global scale. OriginOil’s ongoing research and development efforts aim to refine its core technologies and explore new avenues for sustainable resource management.
