The Next Generation of Aquaporin Inside®
At Aquaporin, we continuously work to improve and develop our membrane technology. Recent advancements in the Aquaporin Laboratory show promising progress in our membrane performance, with the potential to transform energy efficiency reductions beyond today’s standards.
Chief Technology Officer Torsten Bak shares his excitement about these developments, stating, “We are seeing some very promising preliminary lab data which we look forward to exploring and building upon. A lot of hard work is coming together now, and we believe this holds great potential.”
These developments are central to the development of our Next Generation Aquaporin Inside® technology, designed to improve energy efficiencies of our membrane products. Aquaporin has filed a patent application to secure this innovative technology, which is at the foundation of our future membrane manufacturing.
Natural aquaporin proteins are exceptionally efficient, and millions of years of evolution have refined them as the best water transport channels. With our focus on low-energy, biomimetic membranes, we aim to be part of the solution—continuously advancing efficient water use, extensive reuse, and responsible power consumption. The new laboratory results bode well for an even more efficient future.
The successful laboratory results mark an important first milestone in the process of developing a second generation of Aquaporin Inside®. Other important milestones include pilot testing and a scale up to a production environment, which Aquaporin will work to achieve in the coming years.
In 2023, Aquaporin opened its office in China, welcoming its first employee in early 2024. In May, Aquaporin launched its CLEAR Series in China and is now bringing some of the latest technology advances to share with various stakeholders. On November 5-10, 2024, Aquaporin will participate in the CIIE conference in China, showcasing the future potential of advanced filtration using Aquaporin InsideTM, formulation, which includes protein molecules.
