We actively contribute our expertise in membrane technology, for example in the areas of CO2 separation, water treatment, decentralized oxygen production, and hydrogen production and use. Key application areas include liquid filtration, membrane contactors, pervaporation and vapor permeation, gas separation and membrane reactors.
To this end, we develop a wide range of membrane materials and catalysts, for example for energy-saving high-temperature gas separation processes. The ceramic, metallic and composite components (cermets) developed at IKTS are suitable for easy integration into pilot plants and are optimized for high packing densities and gas throughputs.
Nanoporous membranes are another topic of research. These are filters with pores in the nanometer and subnanometer range. Through targeted adjustment of pore size, polarity and surface properties, nanoporous membranes can be used for separation at the molecular level in liquids, gases and vapors. Membrane elements include flat, tubular (single and multi-channel pipes), capillary and honeycomb geometries. Continuous processing, low energy consumption, modular design, short start-up times and no chemical additives are the hallmarks of nanoporous membrane technology.
