Named for the mythical god with two faces, Janus membranes — double-sided membranes that serve as gatekeepers between two substances — have emerged as a material with potential industrial uses. Creating two distinct "faces" on these delicate surfaces, however, is a process fraught with challenges.
Abengoa, the international company that applies innovative technology solutions for sustainable development in the infrastructure, energy and water sectors, has received the Provisional Acceptance Certificate for the expansion of the water treatment plant, built in the 450 MW Norte Durango combined cycle plant that Naturgy (formerly known as Gas Natural Fenosa) has in the State of Durango, Mexico.
Engineered porous membranes could help recover freshwater from heavily polluted groundwater and seawater, which is of critical need in developing countries and arid environments like the Arabian Peninsula.
Algal blooms have the potential to negatively impact potable water treatment works, increasing maintenance and reducing efficiency to drive up costs.
Koch Membrane Systems, Inc. (KMS), a global leader in the development and manufacture of membrane filtration technologies, launched a new line of Electrocoat (E-coat) paint spiral ultrafiltration membranes offering manufacturers greater recovery of paint resin and pigments.
