The big picture
LiqTech’s mixed 2025 results reflect its shift toward higher-margin system sales, particularly in pool, energy, and marine applications. The company’s progress in securing commercial orders—such as the deal with NorthStar BlueScope Steel—highlights growing adoption of its silicon carbide membrane technology. However, scaling operations while maintaining profitability remains a key challenge, especially as it navigates underutilized capacity and strategic market seeding efforts.
