Via Separations

Redefining the limits of membrane filtration.
Fifteen percent of US energy consumption is dedicated to purifying streams in industrial processes. From polymers for plastic products, to active pharmaceutical ingredients for drugs, to nutrients for food products, traditional methods to separate and purify rely on heat. Via Separations is tackling this energy use in process separations by developing a novel, more resilient filtration membrane.
Shreya Dave talks about Via Separations, a company tackling energy use in process separations by developing a novel, more resilient filtration membrane, at IdeaStream 2025.
Shreya Dave presents a case study in what one DCTI spinout, Via Separations, has achieved at IdeaStream 2025.

Fouling-resistant nanoporous membranes
This company is a spin-out of the 2015 project, Fouling-resistant nanoporous membranes.
