Ceramic membranes help filter surface-treatment effluents

| By Chemical Engineering

Elga Process Water

This firm’s new range of membrane plants for the surface-treatment industries feature CeraMem industrial strength membranes (photo). Compared to conventional polymeric membranes, CeraMem ceramic microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) membranes are less prone to fouling and have a greater resistance to high temperatures, as well as aggressive cleaning chemicals and abrasion. Membrane life is typically doubled, says the firm. The membranes are suitable for applications such as alkaline degreasing, cutting oil treatment and electro-coat paint treatment. — Elga Process Water, Marlow, U.K.
