LiqTech Wins Marine Water Treatment Order in China
LiqTech International, Inc. (Nasdaq: LIQT), a Denmark-based clean technology company, announced on June 23, 2026 that it secured a commercial order for four marine water treatment systems built for vessels using Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) engine technology in China. The first system is scheduled for delivery in the fourth quarter of 2026.
The contract adds to a run of commercial wins for the company's China joint venture, which has closed multiple orders and completed deliveries over the past six months for vessels equipped with iCER engine technology.
Contract Details and Delivery Timeline
The newly awarded EGR order expands LiqTech's footprint in the marine water treatment market and reinforces demand for its silicon carbide membrane-based filtration systems among next-generation commercial vessels. According to the company, the order also confirms that its membrane-based filtration technology works across multiple new marine engine platforms, not just the iCER systems it has previously supplied.
LiqTech's Track Record in Marine Filtration
LiqTech has built its ultrafiltration water treatment systems on experience gained from more than 170 marine scrubber installations worldwide, according to the company. That installed base underpins the technology now being adapted for iCER- and EGR-equipped vessels.
“We are proud to announce this commercial order for LiqTech's marine water treatment business,” said Fei Chen, CEO and President of LiqTech. “Commercial vessels utilizing cleaner fuel and emissions-reduction technologies represent an attractive growth opportunity for LiqTech. With commercial orders now secured for both iCER- and EGR-based vessel applications, we believe our technology is increasingly being recognized as a preferred water treatment solution for next-generation marine vessels.”
Growth Beyond Scrubber Technology
The order marks another step in LiqTech's push to grow its marine water treatment business past traditional scrubber applications and into dual-fuel and emissions-reduction vessel technologies. Founded in 2000, the company makes and sells filtration products for liquid and gas applications, including commercial swimming pools, marine water treatment, and industrial and municipal water treatment, using its patented silicon carbide membrane technology.
