CM Plus Singapore Pte. Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as 'our group'), which provides engineering and project management services in the fields of pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, semiconductors, chemicals, and advanced manufacturing, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Memsift Innovations Pte Ltd (hereinafter referred to as 'Memsift'), a Singapore-based company that develops advanced membrane separation and thermodynamic separation technologies, to strategically collaborate on the deployment of next-generation circular water infrastructure solutions in Japan and Southeast Asia.

In this partnership, we will combine our extensive expertise in engineering, project management, validation, and operations with Memsift's proprietary 'HEXAGON™ Technology Platform' to support the introduction of sustainable solutions for the reuse of factory wastewater, the production of ultra-pure water, the recovery of valuable resources, and the reduction of wastewater.
Many manufacturing companies are facing challenges such as water shortages, environmental regulations, commitments to sustainability, and rising operating costs. Both companies share the recognition that 'it is important to rethink industrial wastewater not just as a subject for treatment and disposal, but as a strategic resource that creates water, materials, and value.'
Expanding the Future of Circular Manufacturing
At the heart of this partnership is the common recognition that 'the future of advanced manufacturing depends on whether water, energy, and resources can be managed not as independent utilities, but as an integrated system.'
The core of this partnership is Memsift's 'HEXAGON™ Technology Platform,' an integrated circular water infrastructure architecture designed for the manufacturing industry. It aims to achieve the following: * Collect and reuse factory wastewater and return it to the manufacturing process * Produce ultra-pure water for important applications such as pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, and high-tech manufacturing * Recover valuable chemicals, salts, solvents, and strategic raw materials from industrial waste liquids * Minimize wastewater discharge and support the achievement of Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD: zero discharge) goals * Ensure stable water resources, strengthen operational resilience, and improve sustainability performance
'HEXAGON™' integrates water recovery, purification, concentration, and resource recovery into a single infrastructure platform, converting the flow of waste into the flow of valuable resources, and enabling the manufacturing industry to transition to a true closed-loop operating model.
Accelerating Decarbonization and Resource Efficiency in Industry
In this partnership, we will initially focus on addressing water and resource management needs in the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, semiconductors, specialty chemicals, battery materials, and other advanced manufacturing sectors in Japan and Southeast Asia.
Both companies will jointly develop and promote pilot projects and commercial introduction projects to demonstrate how circular water infrastructure can contribute to reducing the use of raw water, reducing carbon emissions, recovering valuable resources, and improving the overall sustainability of manufacturing.
Comments from Both Companies' Representatives
□ Dr. J. Antony Prince, Founder and CEO of Memsift Innovations:
'Industrial wastewater should no longer be seen as just a problem of treatment and disposal, but as an opportunity for resources. Through the HEXAGON™ Technology Platform, Memsift has developed an integrated technology architecture that can be called the operating system for circular water infrastructure. This platform enables the industry to close the loop on water circulation, produce ultra-pure water, recover valuable resources, and transition to true circular manufacturing.
By combining Memsift's technological innovations with CM Plus's excellence in engineering and strong industry presence, we believe we can provide a roadmap for manufacturing companies in Japan and Southeast Asia to build more resilient, resource-efficient, and sustainable operations. Through our collaboration, we aim to transform water from a utility that is consumed and discarded into a strategic asset that can be continuously recovered, purified, and reused, revolutionizing the way the industry views water.'
□ Tomohiro Tomokazu, Representative of Our Group and Managing Director of Singapore Headquarters:
'As many manufacturing companies explore the transition to sustainable and resilient operations, the demand for integrated water and resource management solutions is rapidly increasing. Memsift's HEXAGON™ Technology Platform provides a powerful approach to address these challenges by combining water reuse, purification, and resource recovery within a single infrastructure framework. Through this partnership, we will leverage our expertise in engineering and project management to support our customers in implementing practical and scalable circular water solutions.'
Towards the Creation of Next-Generation Water Infrastructure
This partnership reflects a major transformation taking place across the global manufacturing industry - the trend that water is no longer seen as a consumable but as a strategic resource.
Our group and Memsift will leverage world-class engineering and project management capabilities and advanced technological innovations to support our customers in building more resilient, resource-efficient, and sustainable industrial operations, while contributing to the achievement of regional and global sustainability goals.
