Eurodia

What Eurodia does

Eurodia is a French industrial process engineering company founded in 1988 and headquartered in Pertuis near Aix-en-Provence. The company designs, fabricates, and installs custom turnkey process lines for liquid purification across four principal verticals: dairy (notably whey demineralization for infant formula ingredients, where its patented D90 processes account for an estimated 70% of global production at ~350,000 metric tons/year), sugar and starch, lithium and battery materials, and bio-based chemistry. It generated approximately 70% of global D90 demineralized whey output through patented processes, and is the only Western company to have industrialized Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technologies at capacities up to 50,000 tonnes/year LCE, including deployment at Eramet's Centenario-Ratones project in Argentina.

The company's offering rests on three proprietary technology platforms: electrodialysis (including bipolar membrane systems for converting saline solutions into acids and bases), membrane filtration (microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, and reverse osmosis), and chromatography, ion exchange, and adsorption (with patented continuous-production chromatography systems). All platforms are protected by patents covering stack spacers, processes, and system designs. Eurodia devotes 15% of its operating budget to R&D with 25% of its workforce dedicated to innovation, and operates pilot testing facilities supporting full lifecycle delivery from feasibility through commissioning and lifetime after-sales support.

Eurodia operates through wholly-owned subsidiaries in France (HQ), the United States (AMERIDIA, Napa, California), Brazil (EEDB, São Paulo), and Russia (Eurodia Kuban, Krasnodar), with a 40-person global production and after-sales service team. Revenue is generated through one-time capex on custom turnkey process lines, recurring after-sales and process guarantee services, R&D and pilot testing fees, and licensing or co-development arrangements with strategic partners (Eramet, GEOLITH, Saint-Gobain Ceramics, Electrosynthesis Company). The company divested its Oenodia wine division to Lallemand Group in December 2024 to concentrate resources on dairy, lithium, bio-based chemistry, and industrial decarbonization.

Product overview

Eurodia is a French industrial process engineering company specializing in eco-efficient liquid purification solutions. The company operates three core technology platforms: Electrodialysis (conventional and bipolar membrane), Membrane Filtration (microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, reverse osmosis), and Chromatography/Ion Exchange/Adsorption. These technologies are applied across four industry verticals: dairy (whey demineralization, infant formula ingredients), sugar & starch (specialty sugars, polyols, oligosaccharides), bio-based chemistry (organic acids, biomass valorization), and lithium (extraction, refining, recycling). Eurodia Group includes subsidiaries AMERIDIA in North America and EURODIA KUBAN in Russia. The company designs and delivers turnkey process solutions with performance guarantees, holding numerous patents. The Oenodia wine division was divested to Lallemand Group in December 2024.
