BORSIG ORGANIC SOLVENT NANOFILTRATION
Innovative liquid filtration and separation by solvent resistant membranes
Organic Solvent Nanofiltration (OSN)
Chemical resistant membrane materials, in combination with innovative technology to modify surfaces for specific purposes, enable a wide range of new promising applications for membrane separation processes.
Based on these developments Organic Solvent Nanofiltration (OSN) offers attractive solutions for challenging separations in the molecular range between ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis, focusing on treatment of organic liquids.
As alternative to or in combination with conventional separation operations, solvent resistant membranes provide the opportunity of highly efficient process installations for the selective separation of liquid organic mixtures.
BORSIG Membrane Technology provides composite membranes with excellent performance to meet high requirements in nanofiltration applications. Based on our know-how and experience in process design and engineering various applications have been already implemented.
