The company is commercializing an FO membrane developed by Yale University and is disclosing performance specifications for the production of these membranes at full scale.
This advancement now paves the way for commercialization of desalination products using the company’s patented Engineered Osmosis platform.
Through an exclusive license and sponsored research agreement, Oasys has rights to patented technology from Yale and is now expanding the collaboration to further promote industry standards for forward osmosis.
Lisa Sorgini, vice president of markets and strategy at Oasys Water, said: ”We are excited about the performance of this first generation FO membrane using thin film composite polyamide chemistry and we’ve tested modules produced on existing membrane manufacturing lines without modifications.
”By releasing performance specifications we are further encouraging the development of new FO membranes and accelerating the deployment of lower cost desalination.”
