Membrion is a manufacturer of ultra-low cost, high performance ion exchange membranes.
Membrion™ is a 2016 spin-out from the laboratories of the University of Washington (UW). Commercialization funding from the UW, the Murdock Charitable Trust, Amazon, the National Science Foundation (Award #1648517) and a consortium of California utilities (Rocket Fund) has helped to bridge the translation gap to a commercial product. In total, 11 different funding organizations have evaluated and financially supported Membrion's product development and commercialization plan. Most recently, that support has translated to private investment by angel investors as they scale their technology into commercial production.
