December 12, 2025

Acuriant is proud to announce that our newly launched CUF|Flow™ ceramic ultrafiltration (UF) module has received 1st prize in the “Innovation” category at the Sapphires of Entrepreneurship 2025, awarded by the combined chambers of commerce of Germany, Poland, and the Czech Republic.
CUF|Flow™ represents a major breakthrough in ceramic UF technology. Ceramic membranes are well known for their durability, stable flux, and PFAS-free materials, offering exceptional life-cycle cost and operational performance. Historically, some projects hesitated to adopt ceramic UF due to initial cost considerations.
CUF|Flow™ changes that equation. With approximately 40% more active membrane area, it delivers up to 40% more water in the same footprint, or the same output with around 30% fewer modules. This design innovation closes the first-cost gap, making ceramic UF financially viable for projects where it was previously ruled out.
CUF|Flow™ combines technical leadership with financial practicality, allowing operators to benefit from long-term reliability and robust performance while staying within project budgets.
This award highlights Acuriant’s commitment to innovation and demonstrates how CUF|Flow™ is redefining expectations for water system design.
CUF|Flow™ is not just a technical frontrunner; it is now a financially accessible solution for operators worldwide, enabling smarter and more sustainable water treatment projects.
