Key Points

  • The new order for four QureFlow systems expands existing industrial wastewater filtration capacity at a major US steel manufacturer.
  • LiqTech’s proprietary silicon carbide membranes enable reliable performance in complex and challenging water treatment conditions, supporting scalability.
  • The installation is expected to handle average flows of 400 gallons per minute, addressing industrial demands effectively and reinforcing LiqTech's presence in the water treatment sector for energy and heavy industry.

BALLERUP, Denmark, Aug. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LiqTech International, Inc. (Nasdaq: LIQT), a clean technology company that manufactures and markets highly specialized filtration technologies, today announced that it has received a significant follow-on order from a US-based steel manufacturer for four additional QureFlow™ filtration systems with a contract value of more than US $2 million.

The order expands the company use of LiqTech’s ceramic silicon carbide crossflow ultrafiltration technology following the initial installation of a QureFlow system in 2025. Upon completion of the new order, the company will have installed five of LiqTech’s largest QureFlow configurations, totaling 4,110 membranes and approximately 1,368 square meters of installed membrane surface area.

The additional systems are designed to increase treatment capacity for the Company’s industrial wastewater process, supporting reliable filtration performance under demanding operating conditions. The expanded installation is expected to handle an average flow rate of approximately 400 gallons per minute, with capacity to manage peak loads of approximately 515 gallons per minute for limited periods.

Fei Chen, CEO of LiqTech, commented, “This follow-on order from our customer is an important validation of our technology and execution in industrial water treatment. The expansion from one system to five demonstrates how our QureFlow platform can support customers with scalable, robust filtration capacity in complex process environments. It also reinforces LiqTech’s strategic focus on water for energy and industry, where operational reliability, water recovery, and long-term performance are critical.”

LiqTech’s QureFlow systems are based on the Company’s proprietary silicon carbide ceramic membrane technology, engineered for challenging industrial water streams where conventional filtration solutions may struggle with variability, fouling, oil content, suspended solids, or process upsets. The modular system design enables customers to add capacity as operational requirements evolve.
