i3 Membrane GmbH Has Developed a Membrane Made of High-quality Steel Which Could Be More Stable and Flexible Than Conventional Filters
Two early-stage venture capital investors are joining the i3 Membranestartup in August 2014. High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF) of Bonnand Innovationsstarter Fonds of Hamburg are investing in developmentand marketing of a novel filter technology.
New high-tech membrane ismade of high-quality steel and is more stable and more flexible thanconventional filters, also more environmentally-compatible because onlyinert gas and electrical power are needed for its manufacture.
The process was developedjointly with the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) and development isbeing sponsored by the Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt (Federal German EnvironmentFoundation).
The newly-developed steel membrane is both durable and flexible.
The project is supported by agrant of EUR 250,000 from the Deutsche Bundesstiftung Umwelt, because it eliminates the need for toxic chemicals.
The global market for filter membranes, currently worth around 15 billion US dollars, is growing at arate of around 10 percent per annum.
i3 Membrane GmbH plans to target its products as an attractive alternative to plasticmembranes, especially in highly sensitive applications.
