Tubular forward osmosis membranes set to hit market in 2018

LEEUWARDEN, Netherlands – Efforts continue on a European collaboration to bring a dual-branded tubular FO membrane line to market this year.

Danish firm Aquaporin A/S, developer of biomimetic membranes, signed an three-year agreement with Berghof Membrane Technology back in 2016.

This was funded by the Singapore National Research Foundation (NRF) with a grant of 2.5 million SGD under its Environment & Water Research Programme and administered by national water agency, PUB.

This month the companies said that: “While further details are yet to be released about the dually-branded tubular FO membrane line, both companies are committed to bringing products to market in 2018.”

Eric Wildeboer, CEO of Berghof Membrane Technology, said: “We are eager to introduce our innovative FO tubular membrane modules into the market.”
