Why Choose Ceramic Membranes and Carriers

Compared to polymers, ceramic membranes offer a narrow pore size distribution exactly matching the components to be separated. They also provide better resistance against aggressive chemicals, high temperatures, a high and constant flux and a long service life.

Ceramic carriers are an ideal base for membranes and micro-filtration applications in the chemical, pharmaceutical and food industry as well as in water and waste water processing.

The polymer-free all-ceramic sealing of our membrane tube assemblies leads to several clear advantages:

Maintenance free long life seals which can resist much higher temperatures and pressures compared with polymeric seals and is fully inert;
For sanitary membranes, the absence of polymeric seals greatly reduced the sensitivity for bacterial infection at the seals by a full fit;
Compatible with severe back washes with aggressive chemicals in order to clean filters, leading to low maintenance costs
