Fibracast Ltd.

Published purpose

This IRAP project would consist of developing the concept and demonstrating the feasibility of using the FibrePlate sheets to make low pressure nanofiltration immersed membranes. Since 2015, Fibracast’s ultrafiltration sheet has been successfully used for ultrafiltration (UF) in membrane bioreactor applications (MBRs). Its small footprint and capability to handle solids is appreciated by our Municipal and Industrial clients. We believe that the same base polyester sheets could also be used to support a low pressure nanofiltration membrane (NF). And if the concept is applicable, we would be able to enter the nanofiltration market with a new paradigm shift concept consisting of an outside-in hybrid membrane instead of the conventional
