Membrane technology is commonly employed in advanced separation processes. The use of semipermeable membranes allows the generation of two streams, retentate and permeate. APRIA Systems designs and supplies, from lab scale up to industrial scale, membrane separation facilities as single stage or integrated in hybrid processes.
