Ceramic Membrane

Asymmetric ceramic membranes possess unique advantages over polymeric counterparts in micro/ultrafiltration applications by virtue of properties like high chemical, mechanical and thermal stability. Indigenisation of ceramic membrane development in the country is being realised through a DST project by partners CSIR-CGCRI, CSIR-NIIST and M/s Prism Johnson Ltd, Mumbai and a pre-pilot plant is established for the manufacture of 19 channelled 1.2 m long, alumina based ceramic membranes for microfiltration. A clear water flux of 100-200 LMH is achieved through appropriate membrane layer depositions. Market sensitisation trials are in progress

Ceramic Membranes possess high longevity in application due to high chemical, mechanical and thermal stability. It can also be subjected to severe conditions of back flushing for flux regeneration
