Using membrane technology for water and wastewater treatment

We have extensive knowledge of the use of membrane technology for water and wastewater treatment. We use this knowledge to assist you with the development of your membrane technology.

Water scarcity, high water costs and stricter regulations require more advanced water treatment technologies for industrial and urban water processes. Membrane filtration provides an attractive solution for cost-effective removal of contaminants. Selecting the best membrane material for water treatment as well as process conditions is crucial. To help clients make the best decision, we use our expert knowledge to:

• perform advanced water characterisation for selecting the right membranes
• examine and troubleshoot existing membrane installations
• provide advice on process optimisation including membrane material selection and membrane process design

We can also test membranes and their performance using our laboratory facilities. In both laboratory and pilot scale, we can design and perform customised analyses of membrane technologies to:

• assess process performance
• provide mechanistic process understanding
• determine their technical and economic feasibility in existing and new applications

In addition, we can utilise computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technology to optimise membrane module design. We also offer independent third-party testing of membrane technology and provide you with:

• a short verification statement of the product
• the full documentation of the tests results
