De.mem launches new domestic water filtration products

Highlights

  • Products based on proprietary hollow fiber membrane technology to achieve superior output quality

  • Allows for treatment of tap or municipal water prior to domestic consumption - installed as ‘point of use’ solution

  • Company to commercialise through distribution partnerships

  • Large worldwide market valued at an estimated US$24.5 billion per annum by 2020

  • De.mem confirms CY2018 revenue guidance of $10m-12m – contract pipeline continues to strengthen

18 July 2018: Water and waste water treatment company De.mem (ASX:DEM) (“De.mem” or “the Company”) is pleased to advise the launch of a new product line targeting ‘point of use’ domestic water filtration.

The new product line uses De.mem’s proprietary hollow fiber ultrafiltration and nanofiltration membrane technology as a key filter process to treat tap or municipal water prior to domestic consumption. The system is installed as a ‘point of use’ solution, e.g., under a kitchen sink where the system treats water prior to it leaving the domestic tap.

Hollow fiber membrane technology is the key process step in removing large amounts of suspended solids, and nearly all bacteria (the De.mem hollow fiber membranes are tested to ‘6 log reduction’ – which means that a number of 1,000,000 (one million) microbes is reduced to only 1 (one) after filtration) and viruses from the water. Further, the membrane is combined with more traditional treatment processes for pre- and/or post filtration, to ensure highest output quality. The system does not require additional pressure or pumps and uses standard tap pressure. This ensures convenience for the end user and ease of installation.

De.mem will commercialise the new product range through distribution partnerships initially targeting the Asia-Pacific region. The new product line will be manufactured in De.mem’s Singapore facility using existing equipment.

The market for domestic ‘point of use’ filter systems is estimated at US$24.5 billion annually worldwide by 2020[1] . The Asia-Pacific region accounts for the largest share, followed by North America and Europe.

De.mem CEO Andreas Kroell said: “The introduction of this product line builds on our stated strategy of developing a diverse range of superior membrane technologies for commercial and domestic / residential use. Following commercialisation, these domestic products will not only broaden our customer base significantly, but also deliver additional revenue streams.

“The Company has a strong track record commercialising membrance technologies and will use its existing manufacturing capability, intellectual property, and technological expertise to ensure that its solutions are the highest quality for water filtration for domestic consumption.

“Discussions are advancing well with potential distributors for the Asia Pacific region and De.mem looks forward to updating shareholders as further developments materialise. We confirm CY2018 revenue guidance of $10m-$12m underpinned by a healthy, diversified and growing order book.”
