Transfilm Technology Corporation has launched IonClear, a Silicon Valley-based company focused on providing water filtration and resource recovery membranes for customers in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
According to Cady Yu, chief executive officer of Transfilm and IonClear, the move brings production and expertise closer to end users. “By combining our decades of scientific expertise with U.S.-based operations, we will be able to accelerate innovation, strengthen supply resilience, and deliver sustainable, high-performance water treatment solutions with closer-to-market innovations,” she said.
Founded in 2007 by a team of scientists, engineers and market specialists, Transfilm Technology Corporation has long specialised in reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) membranes. Its technologies are used in a wide range of industries, including chemical and petrochemical, coal mining, power generation, municipal utilities, food and beverage, oil and gas, dyeing and printing, and pulp and paper. The company has built a diverse intellectual property portfolio, including its Transfilm® trademark registered in Apr 2017, alongside proprietary membrane innovations.
With the establishment of IonClear, the company aims to provide more tailored service and technical support within North America, with a focus on local facility operations, environmental conditions and regulatory requirements.
“Our ability to develop next generation membrane technology in close partnership with our North American customers will help strengthen the future of water filtration, purification and reuse,” Yu added. “Our long-term vision is to help create a world with zero liquid discharge, where industries and communities recycle every drop of water for a truly sustainable future.”
