High-Flux Polymeric Membrane For Industrial Water Separation

By James Peters, PPG

Water is essential to numerous industries such as chemical manufacturing, automotive production, oil and gas refinery and power generation, yet the increasing scarcity of this precious resource makes its recovery from these activities more critical than ever.

This paper describes a proprietary, high-flux polymeric permeable membrane that is engineered to make the recovery, recycling and reuse of industrial wastewater more efficient and economical as measured by primarily by flux rate and secondarily by separation capability and service life (durability).
