New Logic Research

What New Logic Research does

New Logic Research is a privately held, founder/owner-operated industrial equipment manufacturer founded in 1987 and headquartered in Minden, Nevada. The company designs, builds, and sells VSEP (Vibratory Shear Enhanced Processing) membrane filtration systems based on a patented torsional oscillation mechanism that generates high shear at the membrane surface, enabling operation on feeds that foul or scale conventional membranes and supporting recovery rates of 90-93% versus 50-75% for standard spiral RO. Its core product family includes full-scale Series i systems (i18, i36, i84 plus High Pressure variants), a full Spiral RO line ranging from S-80 to S-36000, Lab & Pilot systems (Series B, LP, P50, Batch Titan 1000), and a portfolio of branded NLR membrane cleaners.

The company sells directly to enterprise industrial buyers through in-house sales engineers, supported by application analysis, pilot testing, and custom system design. Documented end markets span power generation (nuclear at TEPCO and Rancho Seco; coal, biomass, and natural gas plants), mining and metals, oil and gas, industrial wastewater (including PFAS), food and beverage, and emerging verticals such as lithium extraction and rare earth elements. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales of VSEP and Spiral RO systems, with recurring revenue from the proprietary NLR membrane cleaners and ancillary income from pilot testing services. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is configured per application.

Core offering

New Logic Research manufactures and sells the patented VSEP (Vibratory Shear Enhanced Processing) membrane filtration systems, which use torsional oscillation to generate high shear at the membrane surface, preventing scaling and enabling operation as a membrane crystallizer. The company also sells a complementary line of Spiral RO systems, lab and pilot units, and a family of proprietary VSEP membrane cleaners (NLR 103-759), and provides pilot testing services to qualify applications for power, mining, oil and gas, food and beverage, and industrial wastewater customers.

Product overview

New Logic Research offers a comprehensive portfolio of VSEP (Vibratory Shear Enhanced Processing) membrane filtration products. The core offering is the patented VSEP system, which uses torsional oscillation technology to create high shear at the membrane surface, preventing scaling and enabling operation as a membrane crystallizer. The product line includes: (1) Series i full-scale systems (i18, i36, i84) plus High Pressure Systems for commercial and industrial applications; (2) Lab & Pilot Systems (Series B, Series LP, Series P50, Batch Titan 1000) for testing and feasibility evaluation; (3) Spiral RO Systems ranging from S-80 to S-36000 to address various flow capacity requirements; and (4) VSEP Membrane Cleaners (NLR 103 through NLR 759) for system maintenance. The technology serves diverse industries including power plants, mining, oil and gas, food and beverage, industrial wastewater, and nuclear applications.
