MediSun Energy, a Singapore-based leader in brine management, has partnered with Yanrun Membrane Technology Co Ltd, a Chinese electromembrane pioneer, to establish a joint venture aimed at revolutionising water treatment solutions. Announced at the Singapore International Water Week 2026, this collaboration will focus on developing advanced systems for global markets, particularly targeting the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region and Southeast Asia.
The joint venture will create a new Singapore-based entity, serving as the exclusive global launchpad for their combined solutions outside mainland China. The partnership will leverage MediSun’s expertise in energy-efficient brine management and Yanrun’s advanced membrane technology to address global water scarcity and environmental regulations. The suite of systems includes Electrodialysis Bipolar Membrane (EDBM), Electrodialysis Metathesis (EDM), Electrodialysis (ED) stack systems, and Pressurised Forward Osmosis (PFO) systems, alongside integrated Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) solutions.
Dusun Kim, CEO and Co-Founder of MediSun Energy, highlighted the importance of this venture, stating, “The global industrial market is facing an inflection point where conventional wastewater disposal is no longer sustainable.” Huang Quansen, Chairman of Yanrun, added that the partnership marks a significant milestone in Yanrun’s global expansion strategy.
By anchoring this initiative in Singapore, the companies aim to leverage the nation’s business ecosystem to promote climate resilience and long-term water security globally. This venture underscores Singapore’s status as a leading centre for green technological innovation.
