Biomin International water filter technology goes global

The water-filtration technology from Biomin International isn't just limited to its Oak Park headquarters. It's spreading around the world.

Oilsorb helps take impurities, such as oil, out of water. It is targeting three markets on three continents, including Africa, Asia (the Middle East), and Australia. The company hopes to reach a high enough point in sales in countries such as Ghana to enable it to create a manufacturing subsidiary there.

Oilsorb hopes to make its technology available in rural areas that don't have the resources of bigger population centers.

"It's a highly mobile wastewater treatment system that can fit on the back of a trailer," says Joseph P Cool, international business development and export director for Biomin International.

Biomin International has 20 employees and an intern. It hopes to continue hiring as its overseas presence grows.
