FIDAC
Me-Sep is a partner in the FIDAC project, which aims to develop and validate the first Direct Air Capture (DAC) system based on hollow fiber (HF) sorbents. The project will advance the technology from TRL 4 to TRL 6 and demonstrate a modular prototype capable of capturing 5 tonnes of CO₂ per year under real desalination operating conditions.
By integrating DAC with desalination infrastructure, FIDAC will provide on-site, fossil-free CO₂ for water remineralization while enabling brine valorization through mineral recovery. The project will also establish a European supply chain for HF sorbents, helping to reduce scale-up risks and accelerate commercial deployment of the technology.
The project is implemented in partnership with NeoCarbon GmbH and is co-financed by the National Centre for Research and Development (NCBR) under the Innovative SMEs (Eurostars-3 Call 9) programme.

HiPerNF
Me-Sep is proud to participate in the HiPerNF project, aimed at developing high-pressure hollow fiber nanofiltration (HP-HF-NF) modules for advanced water treatment applications.
The project addresses limitations of current nanofiltration systems, enabling higher pressure operation (up to 16 bar). This breakthrough will improve the efficiency of treating challenging water streams, including brackish water, industrial wastewater, and Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) processes.
Planned Outcomes. The project aims to provide:

DAM4CO2
This project has received funding from the European Union’s EIC Pathfinder Open 2022 programme under grant agreement No. 101115488. The goal of DAM4CO2 is to develop a novel membrane technology for the simultaneous CO2 separation and its photocatalytic conversion to C4+ molecules, as renewable fuels. DAM4CO2 will overcome the conventional membrane technologies by developing double active membranes (DAMs) with a durable and highly selective gas separation layer and a photocatalytic layer able to simultaneously combine in one pot reverse water gas shift (RWGS) and Fisher-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) to obtain C4+ molecules. The project will deliver a prototype, designed using the design-build-test-learn approach, for a proof-of-concept validation in lab-conditions. Close attention will be paid to the use of non-critical raw materials at every stage of the process, and the carbon-neutrality of the entire process will be certified by a full life cycle analysis.
KIDNEW
This project has received funding from the European Union’s EIC Pathfinder Open 2022 programme under grant agreement No. 101099092 and aims at groundbreaking approach for patients with chronic kidney failure. Chronic kidney disease is a worldwide and ever-growing health crisis in which end-stage patients largely depend on intramural dialysis, placing a heavy burden on their life and on European health care systems. KIDNEW develops groundbreaking and modular technology to enable an implantable artificial kidney with better functional kidney replacement therapy (KRT) than currently available, without need for immunosuppressive drugs and at reduced costs.
Completed projects
Innomem
We are a part of INNOMEM Project. Our centrifugal potting system for producing hollow fiber modules is present in INNOMEM catalogue as PL14. Find out more about INNOMEM Project: https://www.innomem.eu.
Med-zeroSolvent
This project, sponsored by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), explored innovative approaches to water management for medical and technical applications. We developed methods for waste-free production, focusing on energy-efficient treatment of heavily polluted process water from membrane manufacturing.
