NanoMem® Conquered the Key Technology of Flat Ceramic Filtration Membrane Production

      NanoMem and the laboratory of Tianjin University have gone through more than ten years of hard research and development, breaking through the technical difficulties in the production of Flat Ceramic Filtration Membranes, and realizing mass production. At present, the production line of flat ceramic membrane has been put into production successfully, breaking the monopoly of foreign technology at one stroke, greatly improving the competitiveness of China's membrane industry and filling the relevant technical gaps.

Flat Ceramic Filtration Membranes Production Line

Flat ceramic filtration membrane technology is widely used in the field of environmental protection, such as sewage treatment and recovery. It has been attracted more and more attention from the state and the market. Driven by the market demand and industrial policy, the scale of membrane water treatment engineering industry in China is developing rapidly. However, the long-life and recyclable flat ceramic membrane technology has been monopolized by European and Japanese companies for a long time. In China, a large number of flat ceramic membrane products have been imported for a long time, which has failed to form independent intellectual property rights, resulting in the lack of pricing power in this industry and long-term domination by others. After continuous research and exploration, the scientific research team of the Key Laboratory of the Ministry of education of advanced ceramics and processing technology  developed the high-throughput material screening technology finally, invented the original low-temperature film-forming formula, designed and developed the advanced roller kiln firing automation assembly line. It not only improves the batch production technology of flat ceramic membrane, but also creates new opportunities for the industrial field of environmental treatment and water resource utilization with membrane technology as the core. It also means that China has successfully industrialized the inorganic membrane with high cost performance. NanoMem has formed the production line of flat ceramic membrane with annual output value of 200 million yuan.

Professor Zhong Cheng, the core member of the team, said: "the price was extremely expensive because the core membrane technology was previously monopolized by foreign countries, which seriously hindered the use of domestic enterprises. Our current innovation has successfully reduced the price of flat ceramic membrane to less than 15% of the same kind of foreign ceramic membrane products. The entity enterprises adopting this scientific research achievement have effectively broken through the long-term international monopoly and expanded the overseas market. In the future, the team will continue to invest in more innovative research and development, and seek multi-party application cooperation, so that the high cost-effective flat ceramic membrane can be used by environmental engineering and real enterprises. We will also continue to carry out in-depth scientific and technological innovation around key materials applied in the field of new energy and environmental protection".
