Generally, 40% to 70% of chemical plant capital and operating costs are related to the separation and purification processes. Among the different types of separation systems, membrane processes have superior performance in terms of efficiency, simplicity, cost, footprint, being environmentally friendly, and scalability. Membrane separation systems have demonstrated promising performances in medical applications, desalination, water, and wastewater treatment, water reclamation, food technology, bioprocessing, green and blue energy production, energy storage and carbon dioxide capture. In addition, they are important tools in new concepts of engineering such as process intensification and zero-discharge. Although the new potential application of membranes are being recognized every day, the entire field is still in the early stage of development. In Nordic Membrane Laboratory we fabricate advanced membranes for different applications.
