Membranes are at the forefront of high-quality filtration, enabling the separation of particles, microorganisms, molecules or ions. These high-performance materials are essential for applications where reliability and robustness are critical, including water purification, wastewater treatment, food processing, and chemical production.
Combining advanced materials with innovative designs, membranes deliver consistent results even in the most demanding operating conditions, ensuring safety, efficiency, and sustainability. Let’s dive into the different types of membrane technologies offered by MANN+HUMMEL and their cutting-edge applications.
MF, UF, NF, and RO membranes: Tailored filtration for every application
Membranes are engineered to meet a wide range of filtration requirements, categorized into four highly precise filtration types:
- Microfiltration (MF): Removes particles as small as 0.1 microns, such as suspended solids and bacteria, ensuring clean water for waste-water, industrial and process applications.
- Ultrafiltration (UF): Filters viruses, proteins, and macromolecules (~0.01 microns), making it ideal for pharmaceutical, food, and high-purity water processes.
- Nanofiltration (NF): Removes divalent ions (~0.001 microns), reducing water hardness, as well as pesticides and certain organic molecules.
- Reverse osmosis (RO): Separates monovalent salts (~0.0001 microns) and provides the most advanced level of filtration for desalination and ultrapure water applications.
Fuel cell & e-mobility applications: Driving cleaner and greener mobility
- Humidifier for fuel cell applications: Protects the membranes of the fuel cell stack from drying out. The flat membrane solution ensures low pressure loss in the process.
- Battery separators: Enhances the safety and performance of electric vehicle batteries by preventing short circuits and maintaining structural integrity.
- Battery venting unit membranes: Protects the battery against dust and ambient water. In additional it enables venting against excessive pressure inside the battery system.
