Membrion received a $1.1 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy, Advanced Manufacturing Office, through the Small Business Innovation Research program. The Phase II Award will support a two-year project to develop, implement and optimize a machine vision system to provide real time analytics of Membrion's roll-to-roll ceramic desalination membrane production line. Membrion, a startup out of Seattle, was created to help industrial facilities recycle more of their water. Membrion's principal investigator leading the project is Dr. Olivia Lenz, a senior research engineer. Lenz guided Membrion through its Phase I SBIR project, screening 50 membrane inspection systems for quality control and inspection methods. The award includes a stipend to commercialize the technology and its integrated software.
