Harnessing biotechnology to revolutionize separation science.

The world is overdue for a breakthrough advancement in water treatment technology. Vandstrom has been building a diverse team from across the globe to tackle this challenge by harnessing the principles of a separation process that has been perfected over billions of years in nature.

Technology

The world’s most efficient water purification mechanism has evolved over eons: the water transport membrane protein.

Conventional membrane technology separates molecules by size, making it prohibitively expensive, energy-intense and inefficient. By mimicking nature’s proven process of transporting select molecules through a membrane via proteins, we are on the brink of a seismic shift in how the world approaches water treatment.

Applications

We’re driven by the need for accessible, sustainable solutions, surpassing the limitations of current methods.

With an unstoppable curiosity and commitment to progress, we envision a near future where separation is precise and efficient, driving down costs and making it globally accessible, improving human health and quality of life around the world. Our passion doesn’t end there; when the right proteins are identified, we foresee new applications in resource recovery that will address issues in agriculture, energy, and other areas critical to the sustainable growth of civilization.

Mastering difficult science to challenge the issues that challenge the world.

About

Expert knowledge in separation science to create innovative solutions.

At Vandstrom, our purpose is our passion. We’re risk-takers, explorers, and yes at times, dreamers. We understand the potential of protein science and don’t feel the need to be locked into legacy water technologies that limit our ability to branch out into new areas. We’re building a culture where failure is a learning curve rather than an end point, solving complex problems together.
