Why Bipolar Membranes?
Process Conditions
Bipolar membranes operate in
specific environments with restricted
currents and temperatures to ensure
successful ion exchange.
Bipolar Membranes
Bipolar Membranes (BPMs) split water
into an acid and base. This provides a core backbone for complex chemistry in electrochemical systems
Ion Control
Electrochemical membranes
allow for ions to be controlled in
aqueous solutions using electricity
Core Challenges to Bipolar Membrane Deployment
Barrier to Entry
Processes utilizing BPMs face high operational and capital costs due to the BPM bottleneck cycle.
Limited Scalability
Competing BPMs suffer from limited durability, low operating temperatures, and high resistance, resulting in inefficiencies that inhibit demanding applications.
Innovation Incompatible
Most BPMs have limited applications due to the bottleneck cycle and poor performance.
