Ceramic Membranes Applications

Includes recent developments and advances in membrane fabrication.

Ceramic membranes applications.

The ceramic membranes have already been installed in a small application in the pacific northwest and are being provided for a project in southern california. Discusses new raw materials for ceramic membranes. By contrast with polymeric membranes they can be used in separations where aggressive media acids strong solvents are present. Ceramic membranes are increasingly being used in a broad range of industries such as biotechnology and pharmaceutical dairy food and beverage as well as chemical and petrochemical microelectronics metal finishing and power generation.

1 ceramic membranes include pores with a defined average size ranging from macrometers to nanometers and they can be used for liquid filtration gas separation and pervaporation. Coupled with long membrane life they are considered the most cost effective solution for several market applications. Covers industrial application separation and purification. Ceramic membranes demonstrate excellent chemical and thermal compatibility.

In recent years ceramic membranes have gained increasing attention in mild environmental applications such as drinking water and municipal wastewater sewage treatments with the decrease in capital costs in addition to the traditional advantages of ceramic membranes over polymeric membranes dilaver 2011. The structure of membranes dictates the appropriate separation process. Alsys ceramic membranes are tubular shaped filters with asymmetric structure and are unique in their design and manufacture. Membrane separation applications and the corresponding sizes are given in fig.

Each industry presents specific needs and opportunities. They are used in membrane operations for liquid filtration. Provides an overview of the different types of ceramic membranes catalytic reactors and their uses. These are the same membranes being used by the ultrapure group in their wastewater treatment systems for chip manufacturing facilities.

Initially ceramic membranes were used in wastewater technology. There are 2 ranges of ceramic membranes kleansep and ceramem. Kss offers a variety of ceramic products providing high quality membrane modules for small medium and large projects at wide range of mf and uf pore. Through two complementary ranges kleansep and ceramem they can meet most industrial applications.

Meanwhile successful solutions and possible applications cover all industries where media were filtered.
