What Separionics does

Separionics s.r.o. is a privately held Czech limited liability company, headquartered in Hradec Králové, that designs and manufactures modular electro-membrane systems for water desalination and ion removal. Its core products are E-SORP, a membrane capacitive deionization (MCDI) unit that removes ions via an applied voltage across porous carbon electrodes; Electrodialysis units for targeted ion removal, concentration, and salt-stream splitting; and Hybrid Membrane Systems that integrate electro-membranes with pressure-membranes inside a single skid. The company states technical performance of up to 98% recovery, around 95% desalination removal on average, operation across 5–60°C without performance decline, and chemical-free operation with minimal pre-treatment requirements.

The company makes money primarily through one-time hardware sales of skid-mounted, factory-tested units, supplemented by a pilot rental/purchase program, OEM construction-kit licensing that allows global partners to manufacture E-SORP units locally under Separionics design guidelines, and professional services including in-house process design, skid fabrication, assembly and commissioning, plus maintenance and spare parts with remote monitoring on daily-basis packages. GTM is sales-led and pilot-first: prospective customers rent or buy a pilot unit to validate fit before committing to full-scale systems. Distribution combines direct enterprise sales with the OEM partner network, and the company maintains only a minimal marketing footprint via its website and LinkedIn.

Founded around 2021 as a joint venture between BKG Water Treatment and Nevox, Separionics serves enterprise customers across industrial water treatment, dairy (whey demineralization, protein concentration), beverage (de-alcoholisation, juice concentration), specialty chemicals (acid/base production, brine valorization), and agriculture. The only disclosed commercial deployment is a 3 m3/h hybrid RO+E-SORP sea water desalination unit delivered to a hotel resort in Tanzania. The company reports 1–10 employees, has no disclosed outside funding rounds, and has no listed management team, patents, awards, or regulatory actions in the provided data.

Core offering

Separionics designs, manufactures, and supplies membrane-based water treatment, desalination, and ion-separation systems, including proprietary capacitive deionization (E-SORP), electrodialysis, and hybrid membrane configurations delivered as skid-mounted units. The company also provides lab and pilot trials, process design, skid fabrication, assembly and commissioning, and ongoing maintenance and spare parts service to industrial customers.

Product overview

Separionics offers a portfolio of electro-membrane separation technologies for water desalination and ion removal. The core products include E-SORP (Capacitive Deionization), Electrodialysis, and Hybrid Membrane Systems that combine both technologies. Supporting services include Lab & Pilot Trials, Process Design, Skid Fabrication, Assembly & Commissioning, and Maintenance & Spare Parts. The E-SORP product uses membrane capacitive deionization (MCDI) technology, while Electrodialysis handles targeted ion removal. The Hybrid systems integrate electro-membranes with pressure-membranes into a single unit.

Partnerships

Three partnerships are on record, tiered core.

• BKG Water TreatmentcoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerParent company that established Separionics along with Nevox. BKG Water Treatment and Separionics jointly delivered unique hybrid technology for sea water desalination in Tanzania, combining low pressure reverse osmosis and electrical sorption (E-SORP).
• NevoxcoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerParent company that established Separionics along with BKG Water Treatment. Nevox contributes to the collaborative product and process development approach that defines Separionics operations.
• OEM Partners WorldwidecoreOEM/ Whitelabel/ Licensing PartnerGlobal network of OEM partners manufacturing E-SORP units locally using construction kits. Partners benefit from technology transfer, design guidelines, and ability to customize based on their own market needs. Construction kits are easily stackable for efficient transport worldwide.

Direct peers

• Voltea: Voltea is the most direct competitor to Separionics: a Netherlands-based pioneer of Membrane Capacitive Deionization (capDI) for industrial water desalination and reuse, serving overlapping industrial and brackish-water applications. Both companies pursue the same MCDI chemistry-free, low-energy thesis.
• Lenntech: Lenntech is a Netherlands-based water treatment systems integrator offering desalination and membrane solutions (RO, electrodialysis, ultrafiltration) to industrial clients. Directly comparable product breadth, customer verticals, and skid-based delivery model.
• SnowPure Water Technologies: SnowPure specializes in electrodeionization (EDI) and electro-membrane systems for pure and ultrapure water, directly comparable to Separionics' electrodialysis and hybrid membrane offerings in industrial process water. Both sell skid-mounted electrical-membrane modules to industrial customers.

Broad incumbents

• Toray Membrane USA: Toray manufactures the pressure-membrane (RO/NF) modules that are the global benchmark for industrial desalination, sitting in the value chain next to Separionics' hybrid systems. Comparable on industrial desalination target customers.
• Veolia Water Technologies: Veolia operates the broadest water-treatment portfolio globally (including HOPIUM and EDI technologies post-Suez acquisition). Competes in industrial desalination and electro-membrane applications as part of a much larger portfolio of services Separionics also targets.
• De Nora Water Technologies: De Nora (through its water technologies business, ex-Evoqua industrial) supplies electrodeionization and electro-membrane modules for industrial pure water, directly competing with Separionics' EDI/electrodialysis offerings in industrial process water.
• SUEZ Water Technologies & Solutions: SUEZ offers the well-known PCCell electrodialysis product line and broader industrial water systems, overlapping with Separionics' electrodialysis and hybrid systems in pharmaceuticals, dairy, and chemicals. Significantly larger incumbent with broader channel.
• Hydranautics / Nitto Group: Hydranautics supplies RO, NF, and UF membrane elements widely used in industrial brackish and seawater desalination - competing with Separionics' pressure-membrane elements embedded inside hybrid systems.

Emerging players

• Pure Aqua Inc. Pure Aqua designs and manufactures RO and integrated membrane systems for industrial and commercial water treatment globally, with comparable delivery model (pre-engineered skids, customization) to Separionics' direct-sales skid business.
• Saltworks Technologies: Saltworks builds advanced low-energy desalination and brine-concentration systems for industrial water reuse and ZLD, overlapping with Separionics on industrial desalination economics and brine minimization. Smaller scale, niche desalination focus, similar target verticals.
