Life Transfomem

Challenge
Develop, using environmentally friendly methods, a process of recycling reverse osmosis membranes used in the desalination process, turning them into nanofiltration and ultrafiltration membranes, increasing membrane useful life and the sustainability of water treatment processes.

Solution
During the project development, two transformation technologies have been developed: passive and active.
Recycled membranes have several direct applications, such as pre-treatment of reverse osmosis processes, brackish water treatment and tertiary wastewater treatment.
