GEA Filtration is experienced in processing a wide range of products on a commercial basis and by testing products at the plant site or in our pilot plant testing facility. Membrane filtration technology applied to the production of ethanol from cellulosic materialsThe production of fuel grade ethanol has exploded in recent years due to the push to get away from the reliance on fossil fuels such as gasoline. Until just recently, the primary source for the majority of ethanol has been corn. However, ethanol derived from cheaper and more renewable sources such as cellulosic biomass like corn stover, switchgrass, cereal straws and wood chips has emerged as a major factor in this industry. Environmental applicationsChemical Industry and Process Waste Water Membrane filtration can play an integral role in processing difficult wastewater streams to reduce BOD, COD, and hydraulic loadings as well as producing a clean water source that can potentially be re-used within the plant. Typical environmental applications are:
Many chemical processes also utilize membrane filtration for:
Chemical Industry Applications
Waste Water Applications
Cross-flow membrane filtration technology is quickly gaining global acceptance as an important manufacturing step in many process industries worldwide. The ability to produce very specific separations / purifications at low or ambient temperatures often make membrane filtration a much more cost-effective technology than more conventional methods such as rotary vacuum filtration or filter presses. Membrane filtration is a pressure driven technology with pore sizes ranging from 100 molecular weight to 5 microns. The technologies included in membrane filtration are: Reverse Osmosis RO, Nanofiltration NF, Ultrafiltration UF, and Microfiltration MF. |
