Origin2023
Koch Separation Solutions is a division of Koch Industries — the Wichita, Kansas conglomerate controlled by Charles Koch that is the second-largest privately held company in the United States by revenue. Koch Industries is best known for Flint Hills Resources (oil refining, one of the largest US refinery operators), Koch Pipeline (petroleum pipelines), Georgia-Pacific (paper and building materials), and its principals' political funding of libertarian and conservative causes including opposition to climate regulations and clean energy mandates. Koch Separation Solutions represents a structurally opposite business line: membrane water purification technology that enables wastewater reuse, seawater desalination, and ultra-pure water production — precisely the kind of water security technology whose market grows as climate change intensifies water scarcity. The same Koch Industries that has historically funded opposition to carbon pricing owns a water technology business whose revenue prospects improve as climate-driven water stress increases demand for water purification. Koch Industries' combination of fossil fuel refining, pipeline infrastructure, AND water treatment membrane technology is an unusual simultaneous position in both the fossil fuel supply chain and the clean water supply chain within a single private conglomerate.
