Organic solvent nanofiltration
Superior Membrane Performance
The PuraMem® membranes are market leading for Organic Solvent Nanofiltration (OSN). THey are made from the P84® polyimide. Their superior stability in non-aqueous solvents allows users to generate extra product value in a wide variety of applications in chemical process industries. Benefits of OSN include reduced cost of goods, reduced energy consumption, and increased yield through gentle, ambient temperature separations.
Evonik provides OSN membrane products with performance characteristics targeting the needs of the chemical process industries for separation-, purification-, recovery- or concentrationbased applications.
PuraMem®
PuraMem® is a membrane series stable in apolar hydrocarbon-type solvents. PuraMem® shows superior rejection and flux performance as compared to similar commercially available membranes. The PuraMem® membrane family is also solvent-stable, but is compatible and designed for use with nonpolar solvents such as aromatic hydrocarbons, aliphatic hydrocarbons and ethyl acetate.
