Aramco Ventures Backs US-Based Deeptech Via Separations in $36M Round
US deeptech Via Separations secures $36 million to expand energy‑saving membranes beyond pulp and paper into heavy industry.
US-based deeptech startup Via Separations has raised $36 million in new funding to scale its industrial filtration technology, with participation from Aramco Ventures, Climate Investment and Marathon Petroleum.
The round also included existing investors such as Embark Ventures, The Grantham Foundation for the Protection of the Environment, Massachusetts Clean Energy Center and Safar Partners.
Via Separations develops modular filtration systems designed to replace heat-based industrial separation processes with membrane-driven alternatives. These systems can be integrated into existing infrastructure, targeting processes that account for roughly 12% of global energy use.
The company says its technology can reduce energy consumption at the separation stage by up to 90%, while lowering operating costs and improving system reliability. Its systems have been operating at commercial scale in the pulp and paper sector, including a facility in Grande Prairie.
Following these deployments, the company is expanding into refining and chemicals, with a pilot completed at a Gulf Coast refinery and a pipeline of commercial projects described as worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
The new funding will be used to scale manufacturing capacity, deploy additional systems and expand into new industrial sectors.
