Industrial wastewater treatment faces persistent hurdles, especially in oil and gas, petrochemical, metal finishing, and food processing industries. Conventional membranes suffer from rapid fouling when exposed to high oil and grease loads, degrade under extreme chemical cleaning, and struggle to maintain flux recovery. This often results in frequent downtime, costly replacements, and an inability to consistently meet discharge compliance. The technology is a next-generation ultrafiltration (UF) membrane engineered for highly aggressive industrial environments. Built from military-grade, chemical-resistant polymers, the hollow fiber design achieves high flux with low fouling, even under extreme conditions such as pH 1–14, temperatures up to 80 °C, high salinity, and oily streams containing up to 5% oil. Unlike conventional polymer membranes, this solution maintains long-term performance through repeated high-caustic (pH 14+) and chlorine (10,000+ ppm) cleanings. It consistently delivers over 95% flux recovery after aggressive NaOH and NaOCl cleaning, preventing irreversible fouling and reducing replacement frequency. Optimized porosity and geometry allow the membranes to handle heavy oil loads while validated cleaning protocols ensure rapid regeneration and stable long-term operation.The proprietary polymer chemistry and crosslinking techniques that form the basis of the membrane provide a competitive edge and ensure consistent performance.
