Ceramic Membranes Applications

Provides an overview of the different types of ceramic membranes catalytic reactors and their uses.

Ceramic membranes applications. Alsys ceramic membranes are tubular shaped filters with asymmetric structure and are unique in their design and manufacture. Ceramic membranes demonstrate excellent chemical and thermal compatibility. Discusses new raw materials for ceramic membranes. Meanwhile successful solutions and possible applications cover all industries where media were filtered.

Each industry presents specific needs and opportunities. Membrane separation applications and the corresponding sizes are given in fig. Ceramic membranes are a type of artificial membranes made from inorganic materials such as alumina titania zirconia oxides silicon carbide or some glassy materials. Initially ceramic membranes were used in wastewater technology.

There are 2 ranges of ceramic membranes kleansep and ceramem. 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. Through two complementary ranges kleansep and ceramem they can meet most industrial applications. For example unlike many other.

Coupled with long membrane life they are considered the most cost effective solution for several market applications. A membrane layer of a define texture only a few mm thick is applied to the inner side of the channels in a sandwich type process and connected monolithically. Covers industrial application separation and purification. The structure of membranes dictates the appropriate separation process.

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. 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. These are the same membranes being used by the ultrapure group in their wastewater treatment systems for chip manufacturing facilities. Includes recent developments and advances in membrane fabrication.

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.
