REPORT HIGHLIGHTS
REPORT SCOPE
INTRODUCTION
The flamboyant years of high growth rates have passed. The industry continues to consolidate as technology advances become more selective and sophisticated. Now more than ever, industry participants must be kept aware of the latest industry and research developments to remain competitive. As applications evolve the technology needs to become more precise.
The reach of advanced membranes now extends from the food/beverage and drug production and testing markets to the CPI, pollution, water purification, textile, biotechnology, semiconductor manufacturing and fuel cell markets. Enthusiasm for membrane applications and research still abounds, with prospects for continued profitability for astute producers and users alike. The review explores, analyzes and reports on the science, technology and business of:
Microfiltration
Ultrafiltration
Gas Separation
Reverse Osmosis
Pervaporation
Electrodialysis
Commercial applications in these many diverse industries are explored in light of membrane technology's cost-effective, energy-efficient properties, selective transfer properties in large scale huge volumes and very small scale applications.
In addition, this anthology, which is based on the monthly newsletter Membrane & Separation Technology News reports on the latest news of legislative and regulatory activities, key patents, industry developments, licenses and technology transfer offerings.
