Applying innovative technology and applications expertise
Clean Membranes is the exclusive distributor for Polymem ultrafiltration (UF) membrane modules for water treatment applications in the United States and Canada. Polymem’s modules are used at hundreds of treatment facilities and industrial sites around the world. Clean Membranes integrates Polymem’s modules into treatment systems for municipal, industrial and commercial water treatment, reuse and reclamation applications.
Polymem’s innovative Gigamem family of UF membrane modules features individually replaceable fiber bundles within an easily accessed vessel housing. Gigamem is available with advanced Neophil PVDF membranes, which resist fouling, reduce operating costs and are less costly to replace. Gigamem modules are available with filtration surface areas of 782 and 5,813 ft².
Polymem’s Ultramem family of rack-mounted UF modules offers filtration areas from 48 to 1,230 ft².
Strategic Partnerships
Clean Membranes has established a distribution and product development partnership with a prominent European commercial membrane manufacturer, Polymem, located near Toulouse, France, to bring their highly advanced membrane technology to the industrial and commercial water treatment markets in the US and Canada. Polymem is recognized for its technical expertise and product innovation, as well as its extensive expertise in high quality membrane manufacturing.
LANXESS’ Liquid Purification Technologies business unit—operating in the United States as LANXESS Sybron Chemicals—enables customers in a wide variety of industries to meet their water purification challenges with a broad portfolio of ion exchange resins, reverse osmosis membranes and other specialized technologies and services. LANXESS has recently added Polymem’s ultrafiltration (UF) membrane technology to its water treatment product portfolio through a Cooperation Agreement with Polymem, and has signed an Agency Agreement with Clean Membranes to market Clean Membranes’ ultrafiltration membrane systems, which incorporate Polymem’s membrane modules, in the United States and Canada.
Taking UF membrane technology to the next level
We work with innovative technology firms and research centers to advance membrane science.
Neophil™ PVDF membrane technology, developed jointly by Polymem and Arkema, provides enhanced fouling resistance and durability that increases energy savings and membrane lifetime.
Our proprietary Smart Comb™ membrane technology impedes irreversible fouling of the membrane surface, which dramatically lowers system operating costs.
