AQUAPORIN AT A GLANCE

Around 71 % of the Earth’s surface is covered by water, yet less than 1 % of that is safe to drink – and it’s getting worse. At Aquaporin, we’re working to preserve the Earth’s most valuable resource – water – by combining state-of-the-art engineering, advanced biotechnology and natural aquaporins. Watch our movie to get a better insight into who we are and what we work for.

OUR VISION IS CLEAR

Water is essential to all life on Earth. But our water resources are limited, and they need to be cared for and responsibly used. Our goal is clean, natural drinking water for all, and the sustainable reuse of water in industrial applications. We’re using aquaporins – the super water purifiers found in every living cell – to make it happen. It’s a revolutionary idea based on billion-year-old natural technology, and we believe it will change the world.

BASED ON NOBEL PRIZE-WINNING WORK

Aquaporins were discovered in 1992 by Peter Agre. His research transformed our understanding of the fundamental biology of cells, and he won a Nobel Prize for it in 2003. We’re now using aquaporins to purify water on a large scale – in industries, in our homes and even in space – faster and more efficiently than ever before.

THE NATURAL TECHNOLOGY AQUAPORIN INSIDE®

The Aquaporin membrane technology is based on natural, sustainable water treatment. The unique selectivity and high permeability of the aquaporin membranes set unprecedented standards in water treatment while significantly reducing energy costs.
