Koch Separation Solutions to expand membrane technology production

Koch Separation Solutions (KSS) is set to expand the manufacturing capacity of its PURON reinforced hollow fibre membrane technology by 50%.

The company noted that the expansion reflects its considerable growth and increased capability to serve businesses that use its hollow fibre membrane technologies for industrial and municipal water and wastewater treatment needs.

KSS president Manny Singh said: “Expanding our PURON membrane manufacturing capacity represents the exciting growth we’re seeing at KSS and is a testament to our strength and the value of our solutions, which are essential in supporting many industries and business globally.

“At KSS we are continually seeking to add greater value to our customers, and this expansion increases our ability to offer our technology and know-how to businesses that operate in key economic sectors.”

The company’s reinforced hollow fibre membrane solutions include PURON MP, PURON HF, PURON MBR, and PULSION MBR.

The PURON membrane features a composite structure with uniquely engineered ultrafiltration pores that facilitate high productivity and rejection while minimising fouling and cleaning requirements.

These membranes are said to be vital in water and wastewater treatment needs such as solids separations and pathogen removal.

Singh further added: “Industrial water sustainability and reuse, coupled with PURON technology advantages, are driving the growth we’re seeing in water and wastewater treatment operations.”

KSS’s solutions enable businesses to operate at high-performance, while meeting energy efficiency. Additionally, they reduce overall system footprint and long-term operational costs.

They are widely used in markets such as food and beverage, automotive, life sciences, textiles, and pulp and paper.
