Active Membranes is at the forefront of technology innovation aimed at making fresh water less costly and more accessible as our planet grapples with the impact of climate change on the world’s water supply.

Our membranes use our patented technology that incorporates a tunable electrical potential unto a spiral wound desalination membrane module to make it actively resistant to scaling and fouling.

This active (versus passive) role significantly reduces the need for membrane pre-treatment, increases fresh water recovery, and thus considerably lowers the capital and operating cost and footprint of desalination process. Not only can our membranes be used in large scale desalination projects and in commercial plants – they can also be used in point-of-use/point-of-entry systems in the household or office to produce clean potable water.

Our breakthrough technology advancements have been recognized by water industry leaders through grants, awards, and support by leading investors, accelerators, and industry partners including among others:
