## About

Based in Michigan, US, and founded in 2020 by co-founders Scott Burr and John Mallard, Accelerated Filtration, Inc. is a provider of a liquid filtration system that helps remove solid particles in water streams. In May 2023, Accelerated Filtration, Inc. raised USD 4 million in seed funding co-led by Michigan Capital Network, with participation from other investors Anthropocene Ventures, Closed Loop Partners, Oxcart Equity Partners, Northern Michigan Angels, and Red Cedar Ventures.
 
The company's flagship product, the VelRay X Single Filter Skid, embodies patented technology that combines crossflow filtration with laser-cut slots and active filter brush cleaning. This unique approach enables efficient particle removal across a wide range of total suspended solids (TSS) in a single step. Situations such as varying river water clarity due to rain events, cooling tower filtration, industrial process upsets, and wastewater reclamation are expertly addressed. The VelRay X filter maintains consistent filtration even in the presence of fats, oils, and grease, boasting up to 99% water recovery. With scalable configurations and an intuitive interface, the product offers easy operation and maintenance, along with automated control systems and industrial Ethernet communication. Accelerated Filtration, Inc.'s product is designed to cater to a diverse range of applications, such as water intake, cooling tower filtration, downhole injection, water reuse, wastewater TSS reduction, and process fluid filtration.
 
The company will use the May 2023 funding to increase the production facility at its Midland, Michigan, production site and scale up production to expand its global company.
