Nanofiltration of organic solvents
SolSep BV
Solvent resistant NF/RO membranes
avoid distillation and thus reduce
energy costs
Nanofiltration tested on solvents:
•acetone, methanol, toluene/THF,
•toluene/MBTE, benzene, NMP
•target molecules 230-1000 Da
Partners: AKZO Nobel, Schering-Plough

Centrifugation without polymers
Evodos
Does not change compositions and
makes possible to recover materials
or dewater sludges and suspensions,
saving materials and cost.
Tested on:
• biotechnology suspensions
• food suspensions
• non-dissolved inorganics
• sludges
Partners: Cosun, DSM, Nedmag

Membrane Distillation
Aquastill / Mutrees
Makes use of waste heat 40-90°C to
evaporate water through the membrane.
It results in more efficient energy use, making
possible concentration of brines, cooling tower
optimization, enhanced water recovery.
Tested on:
• salts, acid, sea water
• RO brine
• cooling water
• liquid food streams
