Muscat Gases Company, a key player in Oman’s industrial landscape, has partnered with IonClear, a California-based technology firm, to launch an advanced membrane manufacturing facility in Al Rusayl Industrial City. This groundbreaking collaboration will introduce Oman’s first local production site for Reverse Osmosis (RO) and Nanofiltration (NF) membranes, which are crucial for water desalination and treatment across various industrial applications.
The new plant, spanning 3,000 square meters, represents a major step toward enhancing Oman’s water treatment infrastructure and supporting national efforts to address long-term water security. The initiative is also aligned with the country’s broader sustainability goals, including reducing environmental impact and supporting carbon neutrality through the development of cleaner, more efficient technologies.
The partnership will not only bring cutting-edge membrane technology to Oman but also contribute to building local capacity in high-tech manufacturing. By fostering technology transfer, the project is expected to stimulate local innovation, reduce dependence on imports, and create skilled employment opportunities for Omani professionals, especially in the areas of environmental and process engineering.
As part of Oman’s vision to diversify its economy and strengthen its industrial base, this venture supports the goals outlined in Oman Vision 2040—particularly those related to increasing In-Country Value (ICV) and promoting private-sector-driven growth in strategic sectors. The facility is expected to serve not just local demand but also open up export opportunities across the Gulf region.

Product Launch Overview
Toray Industries, Inc. has announced its new PTC.SLV household water purifier cartridge, which is released alongside the Torayvino™ PT307SLV water filter pitcher, specially designed to accommodate the new cartridge. Notably, the PTC.SLV cartridge is also compatible with other models in the Torayvino pitcher series, offering users greater flexibility and convenience.
Key Innovations and Performance
The PTC.SLV cartridge represents a major advancement in household water purification. It is engineered to filter up to 600 liters of water, effectively tripling the lifespan of conventional cartridges. When used to purify approximately three liters of water per day, the cartridge lasts for up to six months, significantly reducing the frequency and cost of replacements.
Toray’s proprietary filtration technology allows the PTC.SLV cartridge to swiftly and effectively remove 16 substances designated by the Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS), including perfluorooctanesulfonic acids (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acids (PFOA)—chemicals of growing concern in water safety.
In terms of speed, the cartridge delivers one liter of filtered water in just three minutes, ensuring a steady supply of clean water for drinking, cooking, and other household uses.

Torayvino™ PT307SLV Pitcher Features
The newly launched PT307SLV water filter pitcher is designed to work seamlessly with the PTC.SLV cartridge. It offers:

• Compact design that fits comfortably in both the front and back rows of standard refrigerator door pockets, including smaller units
• A transparent blue cartridge replacement indicator dial that allows users to set and monitor cartridge change dates at a glance

This thoughtful design ensures both practical storage and ease of use, making it an ideal solution for individuals, small families, and people living alone.
