The 3rd Membrane Material for Water & Wastewater Filtration

The polycera 8040 membrane.

About Us

In response to an oil spill cleanup in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, a research team from UCLA developed PolyCera Membranes based on organic metal materials that won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2000. The novel membranes offer excellent oil, temperature, and chemical tolerance, as well as high sustainable flux and backwashable functionality, and have achieved over 50 million gallons per day in installations. Serving industries like oil and gas, water reuse, lithium extraction, and food production, PolyCera combines top-tier performance with cost-effectiveness…

PolyCera Membranes

PolyCera membranes break the boundary between conventional polymeric and ceramic membranes and solve problems of extensive pretreatment requirements and poor fouling resistance from traditional membrane products.

How Advanced UF Design Reduces Pretreatment in Industrial Water Systems

PolyCera’s latest whitepaper, “Advancing Industrial Water and Wastewater Treatment with Ultrafiltration Membranes Designed for Reduced Pretreatment,” explores how advanced UF membrane design can simplify processes, reduce chemical use, and deliver stable performance even on high-solids industrial feeds.

Solutions

PolyCera Hydro

Fouling-resistant Ultrafiltration Membrane

PolyCera Hydro fouling-resistant UF membranes are suitable for industrial wastewater treatment for suspended solids removal, with up to 10,000 mg/L suspended solids. PolyCera Hydro UF membranes offer features that include a high sustainable flux, fouling resistance, and ease of cleaning. PolyCera Hydro UF membranes provide a low-cost, stable process opportunity that yields high-quality treatment products for OEMs, integrators, and owners/operators.

PolyCera Titan

Oil-tolerant Ultrafiltration Membrane

PolyCera Titan series UF membranes are designed for oily water treatment, due to their oil tolerance of up to 3% oils. PolyCera Titan membranes enable a shorter treatment process, a smaller footprint, and better treatment efficiency. PolyCera Titan membranes have been used in a variety of oily water treatment regimens, e.g., produced water and industrial process condensate.

PolyCera Titan

Salt-Permeating Nanofiltration Membrane

PolyCera Titan NF membranes, engineered with Nobel Prize hyphen winning chemistry, have sub-nanometer pore size with MWCO of 500 Da to 1,000 Da. Titan NF is designed for chemical-free color removal (typical rejection >99%) while allowing ~0% salt rejection, due to its low charged surface.
