Water treatment product manufacturer to expand operations to Knoxville

Aqua Membranes officials will expand its operations to Knoxville, the company’s first location outside its headquarters in Albuquerque, N.M. Aqua Membranes will create 95 new jobs and invest $6.6 million as the company constructs its newest facility in the Forks of the River Valley Industrial Park. Through the project, the company will significantly expand its manufacturing capacity, support large-scale customer contracts, and accelerate the adoption of its RO membrane technology across the globe. Founded in 2011, Aqua Membranes is a leader in global water treatment. The company has developed a cutting-edge solution that replaces traditional mesh feed channels in spiral wound membranes. By replacing the mesh spacer with their patented Printed Spacer Technology®, they achieve energy savings, increased flow, reduced cleaning frequency, and longer membrane life.
