Next generation additive manufacturing solution enabling local, sustainable and low cost production of energy efficient ceramic filtration membranes

水是一种至关重要的资源，到2050年，全球年消费量将增长55%，达到每年6000万亿升。由于在取水、脱盐、抽水、处理和处置过程中消耗大量能源，提高这些能源密集型过程的效率对于实现2050年净零排放目标至关重要。此外，微电子和绿色制氢对超纯水的需求激增，以及从排放盐水中收集贵金属（如锂、钴和镍），使节能液体过滤和分离成为社会转型的核心。Evove采用内部计算流体动力学（CFD）建模设计，并使用革命性的增材制造工艺进行3D打印。Evove计划采用多方面的方法来重新定义过滤和分离技术，使这些处理液体能够采购本地制造的高性能陶瓷分离设备（3D打印过滤膜），从而显著降低碳足迹和经济成本。预计早期采用者将在社会转型的核心领域，包括锂、食品和饮料、绿色氢、半导体、海水淡化以及水和废水。这些行业的先进组织将能够减少高达80%的工艺能耗，提高5倍的产量，并从排放的工艺水中回收资源。

Water is a vital resource, with global annual consumption set to grow by 55% to \>6,000 trillion litres p.a. by 2050\. As vast quantities of energy are consumed during water extraction, desalination, pumping, treatment and disposal, improvements to the efficiency of these energy intensive processes are critical to achieve 2050 net zero targets. Furthermore, surging demand for ultrapure water for microelectronics and green hydrogen production, as well as the harvesting of precious metals (e.g., lithium, cobalt and nickel) from discharge brines places energy efficient liquid filtration and separation at the heart of societal transition.Designed with in-house computational fluid dynamic (CFD) modelling and 3D printed using a revolutionary additive manufacturing process, Evove plans a multifaceted approach to redefine the landscape of filtration and separation technologies, by enabling those processing liquids to source locally made, high-performance ceramic Separonics (3D printed filtration membranes) with significantly reduced carbon footprints and economic cost.Early adopters are expected to be in the sectors at the heart of societal transition, including lithium, food & beverages, green hydrogen, semiconductors, desalination and water & wastewater. Progressive organisations in these sectors will be able to reduce their process energy consumption by up to 80%, increase their produce yield 5x and recycle resources from their discharged process water.
