First Commercial Membranes 2024
In 2024, Firmbase has its first commercial success with the Super Hydrophilic Membrane Technology in industrial waste water treatment that contains high oil content. The membrane incorporated with Firmbase’s Super Hydrophilic Polymer was able to operate with enhanced anti-fouling, keeping the membrane in operation for a longer period.
SIWW 2022
In Singapore International Water Week (SIWW) 2022, Firmbase and its strategic partners showcased its Super Hydrophilic Polymer (SHP) and its Super Hydrophilic Membrane Technology. SHP drew much interest from membrane producers looking for hydrophilic additives that have better anti-fouling and non-leaching capabilities.
Membrane Scale-up 2021
In September 2021, Firmbase with its strategic partner Environmental and Water Technology Centre of Innovation (EWTCOI*), successfully scaled up its Super Hydrophilic Membrane Technology for PVDF Hollow Fibre Ultrafiltration Membrane. It demonstrated that Firmbase’s Super Hydrophilic Polymer (SHP) could be incorporated into existing membrane matrix at industrial scale and enhanced the membrane’s anti-fouling performance.
*Environmental and Water Technology Centre of Innovation is now named Centre for Environmental Sustainability (CfES), a Singapore Government hub for driving industry partnership in developing green solutions and fostering talent development for a sustainable future.
SWA Forum 2020
In August 2020, Firmbase shared its super hydrophilic membrane technology development journey at the SWA-EWTCOI forum. In the presentation, Firmbase shared its learning and experience in collaborating with third parties on technology development.
SG MEM 2019
In January 2019, Firmbase became one of the first Industry Member to the Singapore Membrane Consortium, SG MEM, a platform to showcase Singapore’s unique ecosystem for membrane technology, and to leverage the same towards developing mutually beneficial collaborations with industrial partners.
Press July 2019
In July 2019, the Singapore press The Straits Times published the journey of Firmbase and its collaborator Environmental and Water Technology Centre of Innovation (EWTCOI*) in developing the Super Hydrophilic Membrane technology, a membrane anti-fouling enhancing capability using Firmbase’s Super Hydrophilic Polymer (SHP).
*Environmental and Water Technology Centre of Innovation is now named Centre for Environmental Sustainability (CfES), a Singapore Government hub for driving industry partnership in developing green solutions and fostering talent development for a sustainable future.
SME Day 2019
In March 2019, Firmbase first public introduction of its Super Hydrophilic Polymer (SHP) and the potential of its Super Hydrophilic Membrane Technology in treating oily industrial waste water treatment at the Singapore SME Day.
