Via Separations

Via Separations, an Autodesk Foundation indirect investee through Prime Coalition, is taking major strides towards reducing GHG emissions in the pulp and paper industry. 📉 The #ClimateTech startup's groundbreaking filtration solution—modeled using Autodesk tools—saves energy, reduces downtime, increases throughput, and captures valuable byproducts, demonstrating the immense potential for industrial #Decarbonization. 🏭 🔄 Learn more about Via Separations sustainable design and technology solutions in the latest AutoCAD blog ⤵️

The progress continues at our First of a Kind Black Liquor Membrane Concentration system. The system has now concentrated over 1 million gallons of weak black liquor. Head on over to Booth #35 at the PACWEST Conference to hear more about our journey.

We will be at #ARPAE24! Come by and check out Via Separations at booth 910 at the Technology Showcase to see how we are transforming the energy landscape of the future with our first-of-a-kind industrial process intensification for decarbonization. See you there! https://lnkd.in/gkS9tUZ

Via was honored to host Office of Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey at our new headquarters in Watertown, as she unveiled new findings on her ClimateTech Initiative proposed as part of the Mass Leads Act. Via is proud to be a Massachusetts-based company, from our roots at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Greentown Labs to our new facility in Watertown that was a paper mill in the 1860s - fitting as we scale in the pulp & paper sector. The administration's proposed investment has demonstrable economic returns here in Massachusetts, and we plan to expand that impact through the country creating and retaining jobs, while reducing emissions.  Link to the press release: https://lnkd.in/eUPcz9yr Columbia, Berkeley Investments , TRIA, Inc., Leggat McCall Properties, R.W.

Via Separations and International Paper Collaborate to Complete Project Kodiak in Grande Prairie, Alberta. We are excited to announce the safe and successful completion of construction for Project Kodiak, Via Separations' first-of-a-kind Black Liquor Concentration System, in collaboration with International Paper. Commissioning is underway in Grande Prairie, and the team is excited to see promising early operating results. Project Kodiak marks a significant advancement in sustainable industrial processes, offering transformative solutions for the #pulpandpaper industry. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to strive to do more with less. #FOAK #climatetech #industrialdecarbonization

We are excited to share the news and to continue our ongoing partnership with International Paper! This award from U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s OCED secures up to $46.6M in federal funding to support deployment of our filtration systems as part of the single largest industrial decarbonization initiative in US history.

Today our #PeopleandOrganization team joined the #BusinessOperations team on a tour of the future home of Via at 64 Pleasant Street in Watertown to learn more about how we can incorporate Via's culture into this new space. We can't wait to move into our new state of the art facility featuring two levels of lab and office space where we will continue working towards our mission of decarbonizing the manufacturing industry! #officemove #watertown #manufacturing

This week at Via our very own, Conrad Goffinet, Research & Development Engineer, participated in a National Alliance for Water Innovation webinar alongside team members of other pioneers in membrane technology like ZwitterCo, NALA Membranes, and Membrion, Inc. The discussion revolved around the successful transition of novel membrane materials into viable commercial products. Conrad shared insights into Via's groundbreaking graphene oxide membranes, highlighting the capabilities of our first-of-its-kind commercial system. #industrialseparations #manufacturing #climate

Industrial Separations account for 10-15% of global energy use and 70% of the production cost of chemicals or raw materials, yet most of us may have never considered the energy-intensive separations critical to manufacturing the products and materials we use every day. Our CEO, Shreya Dave joins Mike Toffel on Harvard Business School’s #ClimateRising podcast to dive into how Via is commercializing our materials technology to create value while decarbonizing the industrial manufacturing sector.
