Title: Innovative Membrane and Filter Technologies Reduce Downtime.
Authors: LePree, Joy

Abstract: The article focuses on recent innovations in membrane and filtration technologies aimed at reducing downtime and enhancing long-term performance in chemical processing and wastewater recovery. Key challenges addressed include fouling, scaling, and chemical/thermal stability, with solutions such as Toray Industries’ Fine ultrafiltration membranes that reduce biofouling, Mann+ Hummel’s TurboClean membrane elements designed for durability and efficiency, and New Logic Research’s Vibratory Shear Enhanced Processing System (VSEP) that uses membrane vibration to minimize fouling. Digital platforms like Mann+ Hummel’s STREAMETRIC and Kurita America’s Connect360 provide real-time monitoring and analytics to optimize system operation and sustainability. Additionally, advanced membranes such as Toray’s TBW-HR and TBW-XHR improve rejection of difficult impurities like urea, while Membrion’s ceramic electrochemical membranes offer stable treatment for highly acidic and metal-laden industrial wastewaters. INSET: DIGITAL PLATFORMS ENHANCE SYSTEM PERFORMANCE. [Extracted from the article]
