Glanris Raises $2 Million Series A

In the last few months Glanris has reached some major milestones. Today we are excited to announce that Glanris has raised a $2 million Series A round from investors Riceland, Pittco Capital , Innova and Sage for the world’s first green, hybrid water filtration media. This brings our total investment to $2.8 million.

We are also excited to announce the opening of a new 60,000 square foot production facility in Olive Branch, Mississippi, in the heart of the Rice Belt, where we plan to produce up to 3 tons of Glanris 901x media per day in our patented kiln for processing rice hulls. 

“We are currently testing Glanris in five different vertical markets today with great results,”

said Max Kahn, CEO of BioPipe, a global distributor of wastewater treatment systems. “Glanris gives water services companies like ours a win-win when it comes to water filtration technologies. Not only is it fast, effective, and a fraction of the costs of ion exchange resins, but it also is green, removing CO2 through carbon sequestration.”

Finally, to cap off a great few months, Glanris was also recognized as the regional winner in The University of North Carolina’s  Venture Capital Investment Competition (VCIC) and as one of the Top 50 Deals in the US by the New York VC Network. Glanris was also selected by The Water Council to be one of 12 cohorts it selects each year for its next-generation accelerator program, BREW 2.0 for top late-stage water technology innovators.

“We set out to create sustainable solutions for water filtration and reuse that can immediately impact our global use of water,”

said Bryan M. Eagle III, CEO of Glanris. “We also wanted to create a media that would lower the cost for companies wanting peak filtration performance and at the same time want to do something better for the planet. We have taken the world's largest agricultural waste product and converted it into a sustainable solution for solving the world’s water needs.”
