About us
Purus, founded by Mark
Founded by Mark D’Souza-Mathew PhD, Purus champions Tubular Ultrafiltration (UF) Membrane Solutions for demanding wastewater. Since 2018 we’ve led industrial waste-reduction projects, favoring simple, durable systems that deliver consistent quality with low lifetime costs, without the complexity of traditional setups.
Our mission is to remove the barriers to evaluating Tubular UF technology, letting real-world results define the next steps.
Our names are Mark, Juliette, Denis, Anthony, Stephany and Cedric. We have each contributed to the creation and evolution of purus. The goal in this project has been to leverage our knowledge, resource and capabilities to support better choices for a healthier planet NOW!
SME Bridge was founded to address the fact that while small and medium enterprises constitute both the backbone of the global economy and the supply chain of essential products and services, they are often unable to leverage their position to grow and be competitive. Add in a fast changing regulatory landscape, and it is easy to get left behind.
We have been involved in industrial waste management projects since 2018, the common theme of which has been process waste volume reduction of the aqueous kind. This allowed us to become familiar with the various techniques to achieve this, each with their pros & cons.
Owners of wastewater treatment systems mostly desire consistent output quality and low through-life operating costs. But this is a pipe dream since many implementations are complex, with many moving parts, each with a limited operating life. Regular validation and maintenance is necessary, sometimes more often than anticipated, leaving the host organization trapped by the design choice they once made, particularly when they seek to expand operations and implement new processes. This is the most common regret we have observed.
Purus puts Tubular UF Membrane technology under the spotlight, and with good reason since it provides a balanced set of advantages over conventional methods, especially when dealing with very dirty /solids laden wastewater.
Our mission is to remove the barriers for evaluating this fantastic wastewater purification method, allowing the results alone to define the steps ahead.
We hope that in browsing the content of this site, and in evaluating the products and services on offer, that you will agree and support our mission.
