«Our technology allows great savings for water plants» – El Diario Vasco
When San Sebastian native Iliane Rafaniello (doctor in applied chemistry and polymers) talks about Surphase, the company she created in 2018 with her partner, the German Thomas Schäfer, her face lights up. “I’ve gotten older since then,” she says, laughing, underscoring that going from dream to reality is a hard road. But they have achieved […]
Surphase participates in bVenture
To understand the innovation of their proposal, it’s necessary to have some context, starting with the process used to purify water in the most modern desalination plants. Let’s dive in. We begin with a physical phenomenon, osmosis, where if two liquids with different concentrations of solutes (salt in this case) are separated by a semipermeable […]
The desalted sea – El Correo
There are nearly 22,000 desalination plants in the world. In some regions, the sea or brackish water that they treat is the only one available for human consumption, which makes them critical infrastructures. Spain, with 765 desalination plants that pour more than one hundred cubic meters of fresh water into the supply network per day, […]

Surphase visits CATABB
On March 17, we received a visit at CATABB from Iliane Rafaniello and Thomas Schäfer from SURPHASE, together with Nagore Tellado, director of Business Relations at the UPV. Membrane desalination is an efficient process that guarantees the supply of drinking water globally. However, membranes accumulate matter on their surface, generating the problem known as “fouling.” […]

Surphase becomes a Word Alliance Member
Water scarcity will be aggravating significantly in the near future (UN Water report) which generates the pressing need to efficiently produce drinking water through, for example, desalination. Membrane separations offer in principle a cost-efficient solution compared to thermal processes but may severely suffer from fouling of the membrane. Surphase offers the possibility to minimise the […]
