Aquaporin Membranes To Power Projects In Chile And Mexico

Aquaporin continues to strengthen its presence in South and Latin America with new orders received for two projects in Chile and Mexico. In Chile, a well-designed wastewater recycling process with a feed capacity of around 2,600 cubic meters per day, equipped with Clear Plus series biomimetic RO membranes, will be delivered to a leading global manufacturer from the Food & Beverage industry. In Mexico, the Clear Plus FR series will purify well water with a capacity of 2,700 cubic meters per day.

The Chilean project was developed in collaboration with VOENS, a family-owned system integrator based in Santiago. Active across South America and the Latin America region, VOENS delivers tailored water and wastewater solutions for both public institutions and private-sector clients, including global brands. Their electromechanical systems - including Reverse Osmosis units - are manufactured in-house at their newly inaugurated workshop in Chile.

A strong collaboration
The installations mark a significant milestone in the global adoption of biomimetic water treatment, utilizing Aquaporin’s CLEAR membranes.

“Collaborating with VOENS on these projects is a proud moment for Aquaporin,” says Ozan Dönertas, Senior Sales Manager Industrial Water at Aquaporin, and continues:

“It is fascinating to see our membrane technology applied in diverse markets and making a tangible impact. These projects are a strong example of how innovation and partnership can drive sustainable water solutions forward.”

With these projects, Aquaporin continues its mission to bring natural innovation to critical water challenges across key global regions, including LATAM and South America.

CLEAR is a series of brackish water reverse osmosis elements designed for industry, municipalities, and businesses with a strong environmental consciousness and ambitious energy-saving targets for their water treatment processes.

The Aquaporin Inside CLEAR products offer best-in-class flow rates, excellent reduction of contaminants, and reliable long-term performance.
