Purify

Building the next generationof RO performance.

METASORB is developing proprietary membrane and feed-spacer technologies targeting fouling, cleaning demand and long-term RO system performance.

Commercial RO today.Proprietary membrane technology tomorrow.

01 — The problem

Fouling starts whereflow meets surface.

Feed spacers define flow inside spiral-wound RO elements — but they also create surfaces where fouling can accumulate.

02 — Project Ignition

Engineer thefeed spacer.

Surface engineering applied directly to the RO feed spacer to target fouling where it accumulates inside the element.

Why it matters

A component already inside every spiral-wound element creates a direct pathway to differentiated membrane products.

03 — Water Technology Platform

Two technologies.One water platform.

METASORB is developing technology across two functional layers inside the RO element.

Project Ignition

Coated feed spacer

Surface engineering targeting spacer-side fouling and long-term system performance.

Project Phantom

Next-generation membrane

Membrane development targeting the performance and efficiency of future RO elements.
