Revolutionizing Resource Recovery with SolventForge Membrane Systems
For over 15 years, Sherwin and Travis have been engineering cutting-edge membrane systems for high-stakes applications worldwide—from environmental remediation sites in Goose Bay to Riyadh, to precise phytocannabinoid separations in Los Angeles and Bucharest.
They pioneered large-scale ethanol membrane recovery technology and consistently delivered first-to-market breakthroughs across key industries, always hitting the ground running.
Now, they’re targeting the next frontier: using Ceramic Organic Solvent Nanofiltration to rapidly recover solvents, isolate lithium oxide and cobalt from black mass recyclables, and dominate brine extraction.
Their game-changing approach delivers 90% less power than traditional distillation methods, plus 4x faster isolation of high-purity oxides—completely disrupting the U.S. lithium and cobalt industries and paving the way for a more efficient, sustainable future.
