Aquaporin-channel water filtration membranes unlock ultra-pure water and glycerol processing without high-pressure desalination.
Engineered membranes embed aquaporin channels that selectively transport water molecules while rejecting most solutes, enabling purification of ultra-pure water and recovery/removal of excess water from aqueous mixtures. The key technical advantage is single-molecule, channel-mediated transport that can outperform purely size-based filtration by maintaining high water flux with improved selectivity versus conventional membranes. Previously, using functional aquaporin-based membrane architectures for these purification targets could require licensing from Aquaporin A/S.
Launch small-footprint ultrapurification systems for electronics labs or wastewater “water extraction” units using aquaporin membranes.
A novel membrane comprising functional aquaporin channels or tetramers suitable for filtering pure water and/or glycerol, a filtering device/purification system comprising such membrane, and methods of using the same for producing ultra pure water and for extracting excess water from aqueous compositions.
