Beyond the numbers and milestones, the heart of Active Membranes is its people
Our Mission
Active Membrane’s mission is to address global fresh water scarcity by providing more fresh water at a lower cost.
Improving desalination membrane is simple. Just activate the membrane. With our patented electro-active membranes, we minimize scaling and fouling, reducing desalination costs and environmental footprint by up to 50%.
Founded in 2021 with one clear purpose: to redefine membrane separation and deliver more fresh water at a lower cost. We believe desalination should be a first choice, not a last resort, in addressing global water scarcity. Multiple industry awards confirm we’re on the right path.
That’s what we do. That’s what drives us. That’s what Active Membranes is about.
