Problem
Conventional membrane-based separation and filtration systems suffer from inherent limitations, including random pore sizes, uneven pore distribution, and membrane fouling. These issues lead to reduced flux rates, increased energy consumption for backwashing, and larger system footprints, hindering efficient water recycling and resource recovery.
Solution
Evove employs nanotechnology and additive manufacturing to create precision membrane technology that overcomes the limitations of traditional membrane systems. Their Enhance and Separonics product lines feature membranes with controlled pore sizes and distribution, minimizing fouling and maximizing flux rates. This approach reduces energy consumption by up to 80%, doubles the yield from raw feeds, and enables up to 80% process water recycling. Evove's technology supports circular economies by enabling local water recycling, resource harvesting, and environmental cleanup, while significantly reducing the carbon footprint associated with fluid transportation, treatment, and disposal.
Target Audience
Evove's primary customers include organizations in lithium extraction, green hydrogen production, desalination, food and beverage processing, and water and wastewater treatment, seeking to improve resource efficiency and reduce their environmental impact.
