Project Description
Membrane Cartridge Development for Industrial Installations
Project period: 10/2015 - 09/2017
This project aims at improving membrane cartridge design, used in bioethanol production, in order to obtain reproducible performance, easy industrial operability (quick start-up / shut-down capability) and a lifetime beyond 5 years. Both companies will assess different metal potting materials, sealant materials as well as the cartridge geometry in order to develop a superior design.
