Regenerated Reverse Osmosis Membranes. A Sustainable and Circular Commitment <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

Regenerated Reverse Osmosis Membranes. ECOMEMB joins forces with the public company Ens d’Abastament d’Aigua Ter-Llobregat (ATL)<\/a> to promote sustainable models for the use and management of reverse osmosis membranes. <\/p>\n\n

The public company Abastecimiento de Agua Ter Llobregat (ATL), dedicated to the purification and distribution of drinking water in bulk to more than 5.5 million inhabitants in Barcelona and 10 other districts of the metropolitan area, is committed to the comprehensive sustainability of the reverse osmosis process, which includes efficient management of membranes at the end of their useful life for their particular process.<\/p>\n\n

ATL supported the regenerated reverse osmosis membrane initiative from the outset through a collaboration agreement with the LEQUIA group at UdG<\/a>. Since 2019, they have donated membranes to ongoing research projects in order to apply and validate regeneration protocols and subsequently validate the behaviour of regenerated membranes in industrial processes requiring high pressure. <\/p>\n\n

Now that the alternative is already on the market, a strategic alliance has been established with Ecomemb to identify membranes suitable for regeneration and reuse in osmosis processes, thus minimising the disposal of membranes to landfill.<\/p>\n\n
