Why Join Us

Osmoses Inc. is a membrane technology company revolutionizing the way industrial separations are performed today! Industrial separation processes account for 15% of the world’s energy consumption and are responsible for 16% of CO₂ emissions because we rely on energy-intensive technology. Changing this paradigm is one of the biggest opportunities to enable the energy transition.

Our mission is to re-design the backbone of the energy and chemical industry to make it more competitive and unlock new ways to produce and purify essential molecules. We bring together a dynamic group of scientists, engineers, business professionals, and operators from all over the world to develop and commercialize cutting-edge solutions that can reduce the impact of gas separations on the environment while increasing the economic incentive for our customers.

Join us! Together, we can create a future where cleaner, more abundant, and reliable energy is available to everyone, and more sustainable industrial processes become the norm.
