About Aqua Membranes:
Aqua Membranes Inc is a membrane element manufacturing company based out of Albuquerque, New Mexico, that uses its patented Printed Spacer Technology® to create space. The printed spacers replace the mesh in the element construction to improve membrane performance. This technology allows for an open design that changes how water flows through the membrane elements. This open flow path improves fouling, and productivity and saves wasted energy in the membrane element, resulting in cost savings for both CAPEX and OPEX in membrane systems.
