Smart Reverse Osmosis Desalination Membranes
Global Water Scarcity
The Silent Existential Crisis
Less than 3% of Increasing depleting world Water resources are fresh - the rest are from saline sources
United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres has warned that water scarcity is a major concern and that one in four people could live in countries with chronic water shortages by 2050.
Desalination is a high cost, energy, and footprint technology
For Desalination to meet these crisis it needs to become economically and environmentally sustainable at any scale
Our Mission
Active Membrane’s mission is to address global fresh water scarcity by providing more fresh water at a lower cost.
The Future of Membrane Separation
Smart membranes will transform the industry, delivering an operator experience that sets a new standard.
Passive membrane separation is the key reason why desalination is currently considered costly, environmentally challenging, and a last resource.
Incumbent membrane technology is done through passive separation. The feed water quality The membrane receives controls what saturated mineral salts, colloids, bio-organisms, and other organics scale or foul its surface.
Fouling and scaling prevention drives membrane separation process design and is responsible for up to 60% of capital and 70% of operating cost in a membrane separation process.
Our solution
We Activate Membranes to Control Fouling & Scaling
Active Membranes is innovating the future of fresh water by redefining the technology used in membrane desalination.
Our patented and award-winning electro-active membrane technology addresses fouling and scaling challenges by simplifying process design with minimal pre-treatment. It enhances freshwater recovery while significantly reducing capital and operating costs, making desalination an efficient and scalable solution for any application.
With the result of reducing 50%-60% of the Overall Life Cycle
