SiC Membranes

Semicorex SiC membranes are cutting-edge filtration solutions engineered using recrystallization technology and high-temperature sintering. These membranes are composed entirely of high-purity silicon carbide (SiC) with a purity level exceeding 99.5%, ensuring exceptional material characteristics without the need for sintering additives. The unique manufacturing process allows the membranes to inherit nearly all the superior properties of SiC, making them highly durable, chemically resistant, and thermally stable.

Each SiC membrane consists of three distinct layers: the support layer, which provides mechanical strength and durability; the transition layer, a carefully engineered intermediate layer that enhances filtration efficiency and ensures precise pore distribution; and the separation membrane layer, the outermost layer responsible for the filtration process, achieving high separation precision. Through multiple sintering stages, each layer is meticulously formed to guarantee high mechanical strength and precise pore size control, resulting in a robust and high-performing membrane with consistent filtration performance.

SiC membranes exhibit exceptional chemical resistance, allowing them to withstand exposure to acids, alkalis, and organic solvents, making them ideal for harsh industrial environments. Their high thermal stability ensures that they maintain structural integrity and performance even under extreme temperatures. With superior mechanical strength, these membranes are highly resistant to physical stress, minimizing the risk of damage during operation. The precisely controlled pore size distribution enhances filtration efficiency, delivering optimal separation results. Furthermore, their excellent durability and resistance to fouling contribute to an extended service life, reducing maintenance and replacement costs.

Silicon carbide (SiC) membranes are widely used across various industries, playing a crucial role in the treatment of water and wastewater. They effectively remove contaminants, suspended solids, and organic matter from both industrial and municipal wastewater. In the chemical processing sector, SiC membranes enable the filtration of aggressive chemical solutions and facilitate the separation of valuable compounds.

In the food and beverage industry, these membranes are essential for the purification of liquids used in the production of dairy products, beverages, and pharmaceuticals. They are also employed in gas separation and filtration, where they efficiently remove particulates from high-temperature gas filtration applications. Furthermore, the microelectronics and semiconductor industries benefit from SiC membranes by ensuring the provision of ultrapure water and chemical filtration necessary for high-tech manufacturing processes.

With their unmatched chemical resistance, thermal stability, and mechanical strength, SiC membranes are revolutionizing the filtration industry. Designed for demanding industrial applications, these membranes provide reliable and efficient filtration solutions that help reduce operational costs and enhance process sustainability. Whether applied to water treatment, chemical processing, or advanced industrial applications, SiC membranes represent a cutting-edge approach to high-performance separation technology, setting new standards for efficiency and durability in filtration systems.
