Ceramic Membranes Overview
Standard Ceramic Membranes
Synkera's largest 11" x 18" AAO membrane with aluminum rim.
Synkera offers three different types of membranes: symmetric, asymmetric and nanocomposite. Unique features and performance of these products are derived from the controllable nanoscale morphology and composition of the active layer(s), as well as chemical and mechanical properties of anodic aluminum oxide. These membranes are produced using our unique capabilities in extremely high precision nanoscale engineering of materials architecture and composition, following strict quality-control procedures.
Synkera offers a range of standard products, as well as many custom options for each membrane type. Please follow the links below for further details or go directly to the quote/info forms to request a quote or to place an order.
Symmetric Membranes
Our symmetric membranes feature uniform and aligned cylindrical nanopores, ensuring consistent pore diameter and pore density throughout the thickness of the membrane.
Asymmetric Membranes
Our monolithic asymmetric membranes feature a support layer with large pores and a very thin (sub-0.5 µm) active layer with pores tunable in the 5-200 nm range. This allows for precise size-based separation, while maintaining high permeance and low fouling.
Nanocomposite Membranes
Our nanocomposite membranes feature very thin nanocomposite active layers intimately embedded within the pores of anodic alumina to enable high permeance and selectivity to target molecules and outstanding reliability in operating conditions.
