Membranes, Resins & Materials for water desalination, water purification and separation processes
Application Uses

Sea and brackish water desalination; treatment of wastewater containing aprotic polar solvents: DMF, DMAc and NMP

Salient Technical Features

High flux and high salt rejecting antifouling membrane. Simple biodegradation of DMF (up to 30000 ppm within 48 h), DMAc and NMP (up to 10000 ppm within 96-120 h) contaminated water

TRL
TRL 9
Scale of Development:

For brackish water desalination membrane: TRL9

For sea water desalination membrane: TRL5

For effluent biodegradation: TRL4
