How It Works
Molecular Filtration technology is based on polarity-driven interactions rather than conventional size-based separation. Our organophobic ceramic membranes are engineered to selectively reject non-polar organic molecules while allowing water and dissolved ions to permeate.
This mechanism enables effective separation of hydrocarbons, aromatic compounds (BTX), and complex organic mixtures from aqueous streams. By leveraging surface chemistry, our membranes achieve molecular-level selectivity in environments where traditional filtration systems are ineffective.
Conventional membranes filter by size. Molecular Filtration enables chemistry-driven filtration.
Process Comparison
Traditional membrane technologies rely on pore size to separate particles. Molecular Filtration technology extends beyond size-based separation by enabling selective rejection of non-polar organic compounds through surface chemistry.
