Customers and Champions!

Every emerging technology faces challenges and acceptance in the marketplace.. our Water Treatment Technology  is no different. Time and patience is required to bring these new techniques to the commercial world. As such, we are always looking for customers and champions. Check out the History of Reverse Osmosis! At present, we compete with this and electrodialysis as water treatment technologies especially concerning energy demands in brackish water scenarios.

Reverse Osmosis
Investors Welcome !
Ur-Water, LLC. is a Start-Up company formed by some of the former students and staff of Professor Anderson. Funding for advancing our technology has largely come from Federal Grants and Projects. Recently, we have developed several prototypes some of which are in the hands of the private sector. We are looking for investment capital and for new customers who share our philosophy concerning the importance of water and our dedication to producing the latest and best technology for its remediation and reuse.

A Bit of History
Sunset over Lake Mendota -
the most studied lake in the world and home of Limnology - The Physical, Chemical and Biological Study of Lakes.

Our Ur-Water, LLC company had its foundation in Professor Anderson's Sol Gel Laboratories  of the Environmental Chemistry and Technology Program - formerly the Water Chemistry Program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. In these laboratories were created the nanoporous oxide coatings that are used in our technology. These laboratories were located on the shores of Lake Mendota in front of the pier you see in this picture. This lake has been an inspiration for our work in the area of water technologies!
