Problem
Conventional reverse osmosis and filtration membranes suffer from rapid fouling, long conditioning times, and limited ability to remove specific contaminants such as boron without costly multi‑pass or pH‑adjustment processes. These issues increase operational downtime, maintenance effort, and overall treatment costs for water‑intensive industries.
Solution
LayerPure offers ultra‑thin, anti‑fouling membranes that achieve high contaminant rejection while maintaining low hydraulic resistance. The membranes swell only 2 % in water and reach steady‑state performance within 30 minutes, dramatically reducing start‑up time compared with commercial membranes that require 12–24 hours. Their ultra‑smooth surface cuts cleaning and maintenance requirements by up to 90 %, extending membrane life and lowering operating expenses. In addition, the membrane material provides greater than 93 % boron rejection in a single pass without the need for pH‑swing or multi‑stage configurations. By combining rapid activation, high rejection rates, and minimal fouling, LayerPure enables more efficient and cost‑effective water treatment across a range of applications.
Target Audience
Primary customers are industrial water‑treatment facilities, desalination plants, and manufacturers in the beverage, pharmaceutical, and semiconductor sectors that require reliable high‑rejection membranes with low maintenance overhead.
