Our membrane platform is a quantum leap

The deficiencies of membrane technology have been accepted as givens for over 30 years.  Any performance improvements have been incremental. Stonybrook Technology Group has made a quantum leap that revolutionizes membrane-based filtration.

Conventional membranes have a number of fundamental design problems. Their structural support reduces porosity to 20 or 30% and increases thickness.

Stonybrook’s breakthrough is to replace this layer with a tough nanofibrous scaffold that has porosities of 80% to 90%. 

Before Stonybrook’s breakthrough, the trade-offs have been: gain porosity, lose structural integrity. Gain flux, increase energy use and maintenance. We make these compromises obsolete.
