DD Filter Solutions has developed a new reverse osmosis filter with a breakthrough geometric design that significantly improves energy efficiency over existing filters on the market. Test results show the new filter achieves lower hydraulic pressure losses and membrane scaling, resulting in lower transmembrane pressure and concentration polarization factors. DD Filter Solutions plans to enter niche water markets by installing small-scale water treatment systems using the new filters through build-operate-transfer agreements. This will generate ongoing revenue streams while protecting the company's filter technology. DD Filter Solutions is seeking $1.1 million in funding to set up operations and install initial systems targeting the food and beverage industry and smaller municipalities.
