Modern Water plc is a company which was first listed on the AIM submarket of the London Stock Exchange on the 12 June 2007.[1][2] It owns, installs and operates advanced membrane technologies and develops and supplies systems for water monitoring.
In December 2011, the company completed[3] its acquisition of the water quality division of Strategic Diagnostics Inc. ("SDIX"), including its Microtox® toxicity testing technology.
Divisions
Membrane Process Division
Modern Water has developed a number of Forward Osmosis (FO) membrane processes including: desalination, evaporative cooling systems, enhanced oil recovery and hydro osmotic power (HOP).
Modern Water has deployed Forward Osmosis[4] as a platform technology to produce both desalinated water and evaporative cooling make-up water[5][6], with sites in Oman[7][8] and Gibraltar[9] . In 2014, Modern Water is the only company in the world with a commercial[10] Forward Osmosis plant which is located in Al Najdah in Oman. Construction of the plant was completed[11] [12] in September 2012 and it is now being operated by Modern Water.
In March 2010, National Geographic[13] magazine cited forward osmosis as one of three technologies that promised to reduce the energy requirements of desalination.
In 2013, Modern Water contracted to build desalination projects in China,[14][15][16] which require more water in some areas for drinking and for irrigation.[17] One of the company's main competitors in Asia is Consolidated Water.[18]
Monitoring Division
The Monitoring division develops systems for monitoring and improving water quality. It provides acute toxicity monitoring systems for online, portable and lab use, together with on-line and portable trace metal measurement technology.
Directors
Neil McDougall, a chartered accountant, is a co-founder and in 2014 is Executive Chairman. Simon Humphrey is a co-founder of the Company and has been CEO since Modern Water’s inception in December 2006. Michael Gradon is Senior Independent Non-executive Director and Mike Townsend, Chief Investment Officer at IP Group plc, is Non-executive Director. Robert Clarke is also Non-executive Director.
