Nanostart invests in Singapore membrane instrument company

18 February 2011

The German nanotechnology venture capital company Nanostart AG has taken an 18% stake in Membrane Instruments and Technology (MINT) Pte Ltd, a cleantech company based in Singapore.

Founded in 2009, MINT is a spin-off from Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University, producing next-generation technology for monitoring and controlling water quality in filtration-based water treatment plants.

The core of the new technology lies in the proprietary, nanotech-based sensors developed by MINT. These highly sensitive sensors automatically monitor the efficiency and proper functioning of filter membranes by continuously measuring key output parameters.

The Nanostart portfolio already includes ItN Nanovation AG, which specialises in water filtration based on nanoceramics.
