CERAFILTEC Announces Plans To Introduce Advancement In Ceramic Membrane Technology At IFAT 2024

New product enables ceramic membranes to achieve performance breakthroughs in MBR applications

CERAFILTEC, the global leader in ceramic flat membrane (CFM) technology, eagerly anticipates the introduction at IFAT of a new product that promises to redefine the performance standards of ceramic membranes in Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) applications. These advancements will drive reduction of costs and improve MBR plant operations. This patented technology, exclusively available from CERAFILTEC, is expected to accelerate the already growing adoption of ceramic membranes in wastewater treatment, replacing polymeric membranes.

The new product will be unveiled at CERAFILTEC’s booth B2.114 at 2:00 pm on 13 May. All attendees at IFAT are invited to attend the product reveal. Refreshments and snacks will be available as the team showcases how their continuous innovation is driving the technology towards mainstream adoption and the full replacement of polymeric membranes for a more sustainable future.

Dr. Martin Kaschek, Chief Science Officer at CERAFILTEC, remarked, "We have been dedicated to this development for over two years and are thrilled to announce another significant milestone for our company. Since our inception, the expertise and dedication of our team members have been pivotal in our technology advancements, starting with the visionary invention of the ceramic flat membrane in 1993.”

CERAFILTEC’s subsequent achievements have positioned ceramic membranes at the forefront of large-scale municipal and industrial applications. These breakthroughs include hydraulically optimized module designs that led to a >50% reduction in costs, and process innovations such as CERAFILTEC’s active cake layer filtration (ACLF) for selective removal of dissolved contaminants such as PFAS, TOC, taste, color, and odor.

“This latest product is poised to elevate the use of ceramic membranes in MBRs to new heights, mirroring the impact of CERAFILTEC's previous innovations,” Dr. Kaschek added.
