Membrane Technologies

Targeted technology makes the difference

Membrane systems excel because they are precisely tailored to the specific requirements of the finished product. To date, we have developed four primary membrane technologies spanning a range of pore sizes that suit numerous applications, from removing salt to filtering large particulates in viscous fluids. Reverse osmosis offers the finest degree of separation, followed by nanofiltration, ultrafiltration, and microfiltration, which has the largest pore size. Membrane technologies can also be used in combination, such as ultrafiltration followed by reverse osmosis for seawater desalination processes. Food, beverage, and general industrial processes utilize membrane pore size and charge to selectively reject macromolecules and ionic species.

KMS engineers have designed and perfected technologies to handle virtually any physical aspect of any process fluid, and would be happy to help you select an optimal solution.
