Cerafiltec, the renowned German specialist in ceramic flat membrane (CFM) technology, has recently secured four significant membrane bioreactor (MBR) projects, totaling a capacity of 13.7 million liters per day (MLD). These projects span across diverse locations including Italy, Mexico, the UAE, and Africa, encompassing a wide range from a 250 m³/d industrial MBR to a substantial 10,000 m³/d municipal MBR. With all projects being fast-tracked and featuring immediate to short-term shipment dates, Cerafiltec is poised for swift implementation.

The core focus of these projects lies in the replacement of traditional polymeric membranes—both hollow fiber and flat sheet varieties—with Cerafiltec’s cutting-edge CFM technology. Additionally, conventional systems are being upgraded to ceramic MBRs, showcasing a significant industry-wide transition towards more resilient and dependable water treatment methodologies. This shift not only emphasizes the quest for enhanced performance but also unlocks substantial benefits in terms of total cost of ownership.

Kay Gunther Gabriel, Chief Technology Officer at Cerafiltec, expressed his satisfaction with the successful acquisition of these projects, stating, “The successful acquisition of these projects is a clear indicator of the global market's growing appreciation for the advantages of ceramic flat membranes." He further elaborated on the industry's recognition of the value proposition offered by solutions that boast extended lifetimes and reduced maintenance requirements, ultimately leading to a superior total cost of ownership.

Gabriel continued, affirming Cerafiltec's unwavering commitment to pioneering advancements in water and wastewater treatment. He emphasized that these achievements underscore their dedication to driving progress and innovation, all aimed at ensuring universal access to clean water—a vital imperative for the well-being of communities worldwide.
