In 2001, Mark Spatz founded Sterlitech Corporation, selling just one line of products: Silver Metal Membranes.  In the 14 years since, Sterlitech has expanded its business, adding new membrane materials, membrane development technology, filter holders and laboratory equipment.  Sterlitech has grown tremendously, becoming a leader in the filtration industry, making the Inc 5000 list of fastest growing small companies for three consecutive years. This level of success is especially remarkable considering that Mark’s background prior to founding Sterlitech was not in filtration.  He had been a business data analyst for internet advertising and worked in professional marketing organizations.  Prior to that, he studied at the University of Rhode Island where received a Master’s of Science Degree in Economics, specializing in Aquaculture.  He did however, have family involved in the filtration industry and they lent him insights that helped him establish the business. As successful as Sterl

Since 2011, Sterlitech has offered custom-built membrane testing systems to customers in desalination, membrane development, and food processing.  This year, from March 2-6, at the AMTA/AWWA Membrane Technology Conference in Orlando, we will be exhibiting a complete, 2-line, 6-cell CF042 crossflow testing system.  Each test system allows users to simulate the dynamics of larger membrane filtration systems by manipulating the control valves to achieve the desired pressure and flow rates.  The system is equipped with a suite of in-line sensors that automatically record and display the experimental data in real time. Stop by Booth 112 to check it out.  Mark, 

From March 8-12, Sterlitech will be exhibiting at Pittcon in New Orleans!  Stop by Booth 2745 where our team will be there to show off our latest products and answer all of your questions.  You can also contact us with your questions ahead of time so we can prepare our answers for you.

We have two new animations that show the inner workings and assembly of our Sepa CF and Sepa CF-FO membrane testing cells. The Sepa CF Cell is a lab-scale cross flow filtration unit that provides fast and accurate performance data with minimal amounts of membrane, product, expense or time.  This cell is capable of performing reverse osmosis, nanofiltration, ultrafiltration, and microfiltration.   The Sepa CF-FO Cell is a variant designed for forward osmosis and pressure-retarded osmosis.   Both of these cells are available on our Membrane/Process Development page along with all of the components necessary for operation.
