HydroP

Performance-enhancing Additives for Desalination Membranes

Non Active, Dec 2019 ceased to operate

Company Overview

Snapshot

Founded in January 2013 by Avital Dror Ehre and David Ehre, HydroP operated with 1–10 employees. The company developed a proprietary material for seawater desalination membranes, aiming to enhance energy efficiency and reduce costs. HydroP ceased operations in December 2019.

Business overview

HydroP developed a proprietary material designed to enhance the performance of seawater desalination membranes. This tailored material, added during membrane fabrication, impacts the water's thermodynamic properties, leading to a reduction in the concentration gradient across the membrane. The technology aimed to increase water flux without compromising salt rejection, thereby improving the membrane's energy efficiency and lowering desalination costs. The company operated within the Cleantech sector, focusing on water treatment, energy saving, and materials science, targeting municipalities and manufacturing facilities.
