Membrane Specialists LLC supplies a full range of membrane equipment and process development services to industrial biofuels/bioproducts food & beverage nutraceuticals and water-treatment markets. We develop customized process solutions using microfiltration ultrafiltration nanofiltration & reverse osmosis and all available membrane geometries including polymeric tubular spiral-wound and hollow-fiber membranes as well as inorganic ceramic and stainless-steel membranes. Crossflow membrane filtration is used for liquid processing to effect clarification product isolation & concentration and/or separation in a large number of manufacturing industries. Membrane modules and housings include an outer shroud commonly stainless steel or fiberglass that surrounds and protects the membranes while retaining the permeate and directing it to the intended transfer point. All have been carefully designed to achieve the maximum membrane surface area. They allow optimum operating parameters such as crossflow velocity pressure and temperature to be established ensuring optimum membrane performance.
