BALLERUP, Denmark, April 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LiqTech International, Inc. (NASDAQ: LIQT), a clean technology company specializing in advanced ceramic filtration solutions, today announced that its Commercial Pool business has entered into a new partnership agreement with Lotec, a specialist in commercial pool engineering and water treatment solutions.
The partnership has contributed to the award of a new large-scale commercial pool project in Den Helder, representing LiqTech’s largest commercial pool project to date, measured by total silicon carbide (SiC) membrane volume incorporated into its QlariFlow™ ceramic membrane filtration systems as well, as total sales order value.
The Den Helder project will deploy multiple QlariFlow™ systems, resulting in the delivery of a larger number of SiC membranes than in previous commercial pool projects. The project reflects continued adoption of ceramic membrane filtration in large public pool infrastructure and supports LiqTech’s strategy to scale its commercial pool business through high-capacity system deployments.
The partnership with Lotec strengthens LiqTech’s Commercial Pool presence in Northern Europe and establishes a framework for future joint projects across municipal and large commercial pool developments. Lotec contributes regional expertise in pool system design, construction, and integration, complementing LiqTech’s proprietary ceramic membrane technology and QlariFlow™ system platform.
The partnership and the Den Helder project reflect continued momentum in LiqTech’s Commercial Pool business, as well as a shift toward larger, more complex pool installations that utilize ceramic membrane-based filtration systems. The increased membrane volume required for the project highlights the scalability of the QlariFlow™ system in high-capacity public pool applications and supports the Company’s focus on expanding system deployments across municipal and commercial facilities.
LiqTech’s QlariFlow™ system utilizes silicon carbide ceramic membranes to deliver high filtration performance, durability, and operational efficiency compared to traditional media filtration systems. In commercial pool applications, the system improves water quality, reduces chemical use, and lowers lifecycle operating costs, making it well-suited for large public facilities with stringent regulatory and performance requirements.
The Den Helder installation is expected to support LiqTech’s continued growth within the commercial pool segment, with a focus on municipalities, large public pools, and high-capacity aquatic facilities.
