Aqua Membranes Launches First Product at WEFTEC in Chicago, IL
Aqua Membranes announces release of industry-first,
cold water R/O membrane element.

Reverse osmosis elements are characterized by dramatic losses in productivity when operated with cold water. There has been no solution for this loss which plagues industrial facilities in much of the US where surface water temperatures often fall below 50°F. 

Aqua Membranes ARCTIC8 with patented Printed Spacer Technology™ is a high rejection 8040 element that's designed to combat this perpetual problem.

By increasing membrane packing density, our elements do not lose production in cold water environments. Additionally, ARCTIC8 is a standard industry size element that is directly compatible with existing systems. A simple change over to ARCTIC8 prevents not only lost production but also eliminates the potential of extra energy or rental system cost, thereby saving our customers money.

Aqua Membranes receives Australia Patent!

  1. "Permeate Flow Patterns" Australian Patent number 2019100316

We received (1) new innovation patent grant this summer titled “Permeate Flow Patterns”. This patent is centered around printing and embossing the permeate carrier material in a spiral wound element. The design innovation improves the process of “forward osmosis” by creating a more defined and efficient path on the back side of the membrane for the draw solution. It also covers the idea of printing patterns on the permeate carrier which then emboss on to the membrane layer above. This then replaces the feed spacer completely.

Ask the CEO
In this NEW newsletter segment, we will provide a commonly asked question and the answer from our CEO, Craig Beckman.

THIS MONTH'S QUESTION:
“What is Aqua Membranes go to market strategy?” 
 
CRAIG'S ANSWER:
 
“After many long years of development, we are proud to be releasing our first product. Our intention is to sell this product directly to end users AND through distribution channels. In addition to our own product, Aqua Membranes is actively working with a few select partners to integrate our Printed Spacer Technology™ into their water and waste products. In this case, we will be licensing our IP to others and using their channel to market. 

This approach leads to the question: Are you a product or license company? My answer is BOTH, because we plan to license our technology to other water treatment companies and for the next 2-3 years also sell elements directly to select market segments in limited geographies. 

Of course plans may change, but our focus on 2020 is elements in the field – both ours and our partners.”
