Sustainability in Action
Our Impact Across Industries
SepPure Technologies is pioneering sustainable separation solutions that empower companies to reduce their environmental footprint and transform their production processes. See how our technology provides the blueprint for industries to grow responsibly and prosperously.
Transforming vegetable oil refining
Global vegetable oil production has tripled over the past 20 years. However, the energy-intensive process of refining crude oil emits substantial greenhouse gases.
Reducing costs
By implementing Seppure Technologies’ nanofiltration technology, clients reduced distillation operating costs by 70%. Our membranes also insulated the refinery from fuel price volatility. As diesel prices rose 30% from December 2021 to March 2022, expenses only grew 7% with membranes versus 29% with conventional distillation.
Boosting yields
30% of vegetable oil is lost during traditional refining due to soap stock formation, reducing yields and requiring more chemicals. Seppure Technologies’ nanofiltration technology removes free fatty acids instead, boosting yields, slashing chemical use, and delivering economic benefits for refineries.
Dramatically reducing carbon footprint
Seppure Technologies empowers vegetable oil producers to revolutionize refining for a reduced carbon footprint. Our membranes pave the way for a greener, more efficient vegetable oil industry.
The future of biofuels
With only 5% of global car sales as electric in 2020, biofuels remain critical to decarbonizing transport per the IEA. Their demand must expand 230% by 2026 over 2020's 146 billion liters to achieve Net Zero.
As companies like Neste and Shell accelerate biofuel production, SepPure Technologies provides a key solution. Our nanofiltration membranes can decarbonize biofuel processing like vegetable oils. We understand feedstock challenges and can co-develop technologies enabling circular fuels. SepPure Technologies partners with producers to drive the growth of sustainable biofuels essential for transport's green transition.
Solvent Recovery
Traditionally, solvents are used once then disposed, increasing costs and pollution. SepPure Technologies’ solution recovery system, RE(SOLV)™ changes this.
By recovering over 90% of spent solvents, RE(SOLV)™ reduces purchase and disposal costs by up to 90%, lowering waste and emissions.
In an industry where separation consumes 50% of energy, uses 40,000 distillation towers in the US alone, and drives 50-70% of expenses, RE(SOLV)™ provides a needed solution.
The EPA reports membrane technology like RE(SOLV)™ can avoid 100 million tonnes of CO2 and deliver $4 billion in annual savings.
RE(SOLV)™ minimizes the massive waste, emissions, and costs of conventional solvent practices.
