Membrane Innovations
Practical Innovator
R&D is the core of Hyflux’s business strategy. The underlying aim of developing the most cost-effective and versatile membrane systems that can be used in a wide variety of environmental and water applications drives our technological advances and innovation.
Supported by our team of multi-disciplinary membrane specialists, researchers and scientists in our network of R&D centres in Singapore and China, we continue to push for new membrane applications, products and systems.
We also keep our knowledge base up-to-date by tapping into ongoing membrane developments through linkages and collaborations with internationally-recognised research experts, reputable universities and renowned research institutions worldwide.
Our proprietary and licensed membrane technologies have been commercialised into a comprehensive range of membrane systems and applications that can be easily adapted to different needs.
Kristal®
- Polymeric hollow-fibre membrane
- High permeate flux throughput and quality
- Asymmetric profile results in low fouling and easy cleaning
- First UF membrane awarded NSF's Public Drinking Water Equipment Performance Certification
- Desalination Technology Innovation of the Year 2007, Frost and Sullivan
Applications
- Zero liquid discharge wastewater treatment
