Porifera

Porifera is a California-based company which manufactures proprietary forward osmosis membrane solutions for a variety of industries. Our solutions efficiently remove water and retain only the most valuable components of products. This award-winning technology facilitates development of new products, increases processing efficiency and helps reduce waste. Porifera was established in 2009 in response to a Department of Defense DARPA challenge to develop a low-energy, easily transportable water purification system. Our team of PhDs created a membrane with better selectivity and 3x more throughput than any other product on the market. We continue to work in partnership with several agencies to develop efficient processes for product concentration, waste minimization and water reuse.
