PPG Filtration Technologies Product Overview

The superior performance of the PPG membrane is driven by advancements in material science made by PPG’s team of scientists and engineers. The proprietary manufacturing process allows a precise pore size, which can be varied over the ultra- and microfiltration ranges, with a narrower pore size distribution compared to conventionally cast membranes.

AvN Advanced Aeration Control

As water resource reclamation facilities desire to divert more carbon towards energy generation, it becomes harder and more expensive to remove the remaining nutrients from the wastewater. This is where AvN comes into play as an overall process control philosophy promoting intensification.
