We work with industrial water users who are committed to a better way of reclaiming water and who wish for new solutions that can recover more water, more economically, but know membranes aren't improving enough to meet emerging internal and external requirements. Therefore, we've created a unique, flexible & cost-effective ceramic ion exchange membrane that can be dropped into current industrial water treatment systems and enable companies to meet increasing demands for resource conservation. Their opportunity flows through us. At Membrion, we believe that our culture of creativity, transparency & fluidity is what inspires the confidence of our customers and partners. Our team of 18-people (and growing!) have led the company to extraordinary progress in 6 short years including raising $10.5M in investment, building a pilot production facility, and helping to solve the water treatment limitations of more than a dozen customers. Our product is built on more than 25 patents, has won a prestigious R&D 100 Award and has been covered by numerous media outlets. You can learn more at: www.membrion.com.
