About AXEON Water Technologies
AXEON Water Technologies, formerly known as R.O. UltraTec, was established in 1989 by Augustin Pavel Sr., a mechanical and chemical engineer born in the Czech Republic. Pavel had earlier worked at Los Angeles-based Envirogenics, where he helped design one of the first casting machines for reverse osmosis thin-film composite membranes, a technology that went on to become the industry's most widely used spiral-wound membrane design.
Building on that engineering background, AXEON grew into a leading global manufacturer of reverse osmosis and filtration solutions, specializing in thin-film composite RO membranes and complete multi-stage water treatment systems. The company serves agriculture, controlled environment growing, laboratory, and industrial process water markets with systems ranging from small point-of-use units to large commercial installations.
In 2012, AXEON expanded its capabilities by acquiring the assets and intellectual property of Pure-O-Tech, a provider of commercial and industrial reverse osmosis, nanofiltration, and ozone filtration systems. On ChatMRO, buyers can describe the water source, flow rate, or application to find the matching AXEON membrane or system.

Frequently asked questions
What types of membranes does AXEON Water Technologies manufacture?
AXEON specializes in thin-film composite (TFC) reverse osmosis membranes in various sizes, along with nanofiltration membranes for less aggressive separation needs. Buyers should specify flow rate and feed water quality when requesting a match.
What markets does AXEON Water Technologies serve?
The company's systems serve agriculture, controlled environment growing, laboratory, and industrial process water markets, plus commercial and residential water treatment through its broader product line. Each market tends to favor a different system size and membrane configuration.
Does AXEON offer complete water treatment systems, not just membranes?
Yes, AXEON manufactures complete multi-stage reverse osmosis and filtration systems in addition to standalone membrane elements. This lets buyers source a full system rather than assembling components from multiple suppliers.
Who founded AXEON Water Technologies?
Augustin Pavel Sr. founded the company in 1989, applying reverse osmosis membrane engineering experience gained at Envirogenics, Hydranautics, Brunswick, and Eastman Kodak. The company was originally known as R.O. UltraTec.
