    It might be a new "flocculent" but not a new process:

    Flocculants are substances that promote the agglomeration of fine particles present in a solution, creating a floc, which then floats to the surface (flotation) or settles to the bottom (sedimentation). This can then be more easily removed from the liquid.
    It is commonly used in treating waste water and industrial water treatment.

    It's impressive the treatment technique works on seawater as well.
