Greek filtration SME specializing in nano-enabled membranes, 3D-printed reactors, and CO2 conversion hardware for European R&D consortia.
High Technology Filters (HTF) is a Greek SME specializing in advanced filtration and membrane technologies, with applied expertise in reactor engineering and electrochemical conversion processes. Their work bridges materials science and industrial application: in CO2Fokus they contributed to 3D-printed multichannel reactor systems for converting CO2 into dimethyl ether via solid oxide cell technology, and in INNOMEM they work within an open-innovation test bed developing and characterizing nano-enabled membranes for industrial use. Their company name and project portfolio both point to a core commercial focus on high-performance separation and filtration hardware. They appear to function as a specialized technology component provider — bringing hands-on manufacturing and characterization capabilities into larger R&D consortia.
INNOMEM (2020-2024) positioned HTF inside a pan-European open innovation test bed for nano-enabled membranes, involving manufacturing pilot lines and advanced characterization and modelling.
CO2Fokus (2019-2023) involved HTF in developing 3D-printed multichannel reactors as core hardware for CO2-to-dimethyl-ether conversion processes.
CO2Fokus applied solid oxide cell-based technologies to catalytic CO2 utilisation, indicating electrochemical process knowledge beyond purely mechanical filtration.
CO2Fokus targeted market-relevant production of dimethyl ether from CO2, placing HTF at the intersection of carbon capture utilisation and chemical manufacturing.
INNOMEM's scope includes manufacturing pilot lines, suggesting HTF is developing or accessing scale-up capabilities for membrane and filter production.
HTF entered H2020 in 2019 through CO2Fokus, where their contribution was centred on reactor-level hardware — 3D-printed multichannel reactors and solid oxide cell integration for CO2 conversion chemistry. By 2020, their second project INNOMEM shifted the emphasis toward membrane materials science: advanced characterization, modelling, and manufacturing pilot lines for nano-enabled membranes. This trajectory suggests a deliberate move from chemical reactor engineering toward the materials and manufacturing side of filtration technology, which maps logically onto their commercial identity as a filtration company. The trend is consistent and purposeful: from process chemistry to materials-led product development.
HTF is consolidating around advanced membrane characterization and pilot-scale manufacturing, making them an increasingly relevant partner for projects needing industrial-grade filtration hardware development or membrane scale-up expertise.
HTF has participated in two projects exclusively as a consortium partner, never as coordinator — a pattern consistent with a focused technical contributor rather than a project manager. Both projects are large collaborative instruments (RIA and IA), and HTF has accumulated 43 unique partners across just two projects, which means they operate comfortably inside complex multi-partner structures. Working with them likely means engaging a specialist who delivers a defined technical component, not an organization that will drive consortium governance.
HTF has built a network of 43 unique partners across 13 countries from only two projects — a high partner density suggesting both projects were large European consortia with broad geographic representation. No single-country clustering is evident, indicating they integrate well into pan-European collaborations.
HTF occupies an uncommon niche as a Greek private SME that combines physical filtration product expertise with active participation in frontier R&D on nano-membranes and CO2 conversion reactors — most filtration companies are either pure manufacturers or pure researchers, not both. Their company name ("High Technology Filters") signals commercial product roots, while their project portfolio signals genuine R&D depth, which is exactly what consortia need when they want industrial relevance without a large corporate partner. For a project coordinator building a consortium that needs membrane or reactor hardware know-how with a real manufacturing dimension, HTF offers a compact, specialized profile that larger research institutes often cannot match.
