Toray Industries, Inc. recently announced that it has developed a new polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) ultrafiltration (UF) membrane with fine separation and high water permeability properties.
PolyCera, Inc., which designs and manufactures innovative membrane technology solutions serving the global water, wastewater and process separation markets, has signed a rolling two-year distribution agreement with Inaqua Vertriebsgesellschaft mbH to represent its highly differentiated portfolio of membrane products in 25 countries throughout Europe, the Middle East and North Africa.
The quality of the planet’s water supply deteriorates ever year, affecting individuals, families, businesses and entire populations. Membrane bioreactors (MBRs) are a viable solution to this problem, as they remove pathogenic organisms from the water using a physical barrier that is unaffected by quality.
PolyCera, Inc., which designs and manufactures innovative membrane technology solutions serving the global water, wastewater and process separation markets, has appointed Dr. Jinwen Wang to Vice President of Product Development.
The Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) has collaborated on a project to advance the development of a low-cost, self-cleaning coating technology for industrial filter membranes.
De La Rue, the world’s largest commercial security printer, has partnered with Hydro Industries Ltd, a water technology start-up in Wales to help it meet its ambitious environmental goals.
LANXESS’ Liquid Purification Technologies business unit—operating in the United States as LANXESS Sybron Chemicals—will showcase its expanded portfolio of water purification membranes, including the exciting new HP and UF lines, at Booth #609 of the upcoming 2019 Membrane Technology Conference & Exposition, February 26 – 28 in New Orleans.
Water pollution affects millions of people worldwide and is a leading cause for public health concern. Specifically, unregulated and emerging pollutants, such as endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs), pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) are toxic and refractory, which can be challenging to remove via conventional water treatment processes.
The University of Eastern Finland is currently conducting unique research into microalgae. Associate Professor Amit Bhatnagar, working at the Department of Environmental and Biological Sciences in Kuopio, investigates the potential applications of microalgae in different fields, including wastewater treatment and bioenergy production.
Specialty chemicals company LANXESS is expanding its range of membrane elements for reverse osmosis (RO). The new Lewabrane HP (high performance) series comprises elements that consist of an enhanced brackish water membrane to serve applications in which high rejection and energy efficiency are important.
