Judy Riffle & Sue Mecham

Dr. Judy Riffle and Dr. Sue Mecham, a mother-daughter team, founded NALA Membranes and have succeeded in developing a scalable manufacturing process for the development of a new class of membranes based on new polymers. NALA’s membrane technology offers a unique solution to the problem of biofouling in reverse osmosis systems that will reduce energy, chemical cleaning, and downtime, plus extend membrane lifetimes to significantly reduce the lifecycle costs of the reverse osmosis systems, making them more sustainable and accessible. The NALA commercialization team is targeting the rapidly growing wastewater recycle and reuse market for early adopters.
