Our nanomembranes incorporate functionalized nanoparticles within polymer matrices, creating selective transport channels for water while rejecting contaminants at the molecular level. The technology targets pharmaceuticals, microplastics, and heavy metals that conventional treatment cannot remove.
This project develops next-generation nanomembrane filtration systems capable of removing emerging contaminants from industrial wastewater. The membranes combine high flux rates with selective removal of specific pollutants, addressing increasingly stringent environmental regulations.
Our comprehensive approach to this project encompassed multiple phases of development, testing, and implementation:
Pilot installations have demonstrated >99% removal of pharmaceutical compounds and 100% microplastic rejection. The technology has enabled two facilities to achieve zero liquid discharge status. Energy savings of $500,000 annually per installation have accelerated adoption across multiple industries.
