History ans social context

Voltea commercializes Capacitive Deionization (CapDI) in a number of applications, ranging from industrial water re-use to residential water softening. CapDI is the world’s most efficient system to desalinate brackish water.

In 2004, Unilever scientists began evaluating CapDI as a built-in water softening device for domestic washing machines. Voltea was founded in 2006 to exploit the technology in a broader range of applications. In 2008, Voltea acquired Biosource to consolidate all relevant patents on CapDI technology in one IP portfolio.

Voltea’s CapDI technology has been recognized by numerous awards including best new technology award at the 2010 Global Water Summit, most creative company in Europe by CNBC and The Artemis Top 50 of water technology companies 2011.
