Cerafiltec's ceramic flat membranes are being implemented in four membrane bioreactor (MBR) projects for wastewater treatment in Italy, Mexico, the UAE, and Africa. These ceramic membranes will replace traditional polymeric membranes, such as hollow fiber and flat sheet designs, across the sites, which collectively handle 13.7 million liters of water per day. The projects range from smaller industrial MBRs processing 250 m³/day to larger municipal MBRs with capacities of up to 10,000 m³/day. Each ceramic membrane plate features two water outlets per side and can be assembled into modules containing up to 34 interchangeable membranes with internal water piping. In high-sludge environments, the number of membranes can be reduced to prevent clogging. Up to 16 modules can be stacked into a tower and connected to other towers through a common pipe, offering a modular and scalable design.

Their resistance to corrosion also makes them ideal for challenging applications, including those involving high temperatures. The membranes' long-lasting durability reduces maintenance and replacement needs, providing operational expenditure (OPEX) savings over polymeric alternatives. Julius Gloeckner, Chief Growth Officer at Cerafiltec, highlighted the company's mission to transform water filtration by leveraging the superior properties of ceramic materials. These membranes are helping clients meet their water filtration goals efficiently, while supporting sustainability through a circular economy. The successful acquisition of these projects demonstrates the growing global demand for ceramic membrane technology. Reference: Aquatech
