Exciton Clean was brought to life in 2018 with the vision of bringing a revolutionary water purification technology to the global market, in order to help solve some of the world’s most pressing water challenges. Drawing on cutting-edge research conducted at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the Exciton Advanced Oxidation Process® uses a proprietary, patented combination of potent UV light, electricity and photocatalytic components to achieve advanced and powerful disinfection of water and destruction of organic pollutants within water.
The founders and principals of Exciton Clean are seasoned entrepreneurs and have extensive experience starting, building and growing companies focused on both innovation and impact. In addition to our excitement about Exciton Clean’s unique and compelling technology, we know and have experienced how business, when thoughtfully pursued, can have a transformative and redemptive effect on the world around it - and that’s the kind of business we like to do.
We value people and relationships, before and in addition to profit. We care about sustainability, not just supercharged growth. We know our technology has the power to make (and keep) our world a cleaner, healthier place - and we’re working hard to realize that potential fully. If you’re like us and passionate about water, we’d love to hear from you.
Our team is pretty serious about eAOP® and has the scientific and engineering chops to do something about it, too. Said that, we try not to take ourselves too seriously in the process.
By the way, if you like what we’re up to at Exciton Clean and are interested in working with us, let us know here
