Danfoss AquaZ

Danfoss AquaZ develops a cost-effective membrane technology, which increases efficiency of sea water desalination plants by 5-10 times.

Protein based regulation of clean water
Based on the unique Danfoss AquaZ membrane the concept is an effective layer of Aquaporins incorporated in a multitude of polymer spheres called “Vesicles”. The protein regulates the influx and efflux of water molecules from live cells and has been ”programmed” by nature to let only water that is 100% clean in and out of the cells. This efficient “sluice mechanism” is what Danfoss AquaZ encapsulates.

Resistant materials
Danfoss AquaZ is focused on developing membranes, which:

• Can be roduced using industrialized processes
• Can withstand harsh working environments.
