CeraMem Membrane Technology from HPD CeraMemÒ ceramic membranes are a proprietary technology platform that combines innovative design features and unique materials of construction to provide membrane modules at costs comparable to polymeric membranes. This technology is now offered by HPD, a Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies company, through its recent acquisition of the CeraMem technology (See press release). This unique technology allows the utilization of large-diameter ceramic monolith membranes that reduce the overall footprint of installed equipment. The CeraMem family of ceramic membranes were developed mainly for microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) applications and is in development for other membranes, most notably pervaporation membranes. They feature a high resistance to chemical and abrasive attacks while operating at higher temperatures with minimal fouling. HPD's CeraMem technology provides a solution to the most challenging environments such as deoiling of oilfield produced water.
The CeraMem technology was developed with
assistance provided by the Small Business Innovation Research Programs of
the Department of Energy, Department of Agriculture, National Science
Foundation, and Environmental Protection Agency as well as funding provided
by the Expeditionary Unit Water Purification (EUWP) program managed by the
Office of Naval Research.
