Aqua Membranes has closed a new round of financing from Kurita Water Industries Ltd. (Kurita), one of the world’s largest suppliers of water treatment equipment, and Clean Energy Ventures, a venture capital firm focused on early-stage climate tech innovations.
Together, these investments will help Aqua Membranes address diverse challenges faced by reverse osmosis (RO) membrane facilities across industrial sectors, accelerating the production of 3D Printed Spacer Technology® to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and maximize contributions to a more sustainable society.
“Kurita Group is very excited about the opportunity to further strengthen its collaboration with Aqua Membranes through this investment,” said Nobuyoshi Takiguchi, VP, Strategy & Innovation, Kurita America Holdings Inc. “We have high expectations that their technology will bring about significant innovation in power reduction, which has been a bottleneck in RO treatment.
