Safbon has been invited to the 19th IEexp, the biggest environmental protection exhibition in Asia (May 3~5, 2018). Safbon will unveiling the latest and most advanced technology of MBR membrane bioreactor and Ceramic Flat Ultrafiltration Membrane (CFM) which was developed by SafBon subsidiary ItN Nanovation, stood the test of time for 18 years. All the customers are warmly welcome. 

Our stand: Hall E1, Booth 1040.

ItN Nanovation AG based in Saarbruecken, Germany, is one of the leading nanotechnology companies in the world who has developed an extremely effective Ceramic Flat Ultrafiltration Membrane (CFM) for water filtration. ItN has 18 invention patents and 69 utility model patents. The CFM has special advantages, such as high flux, low energy consumption, resistance to extreme conditions (e.g. strong acidity, strong alkalinity, strong oxidizing, high temperature, etc.). Because of this, CFM has long service life, low operating costs, and easy maintenance. So, it has unique application in the fields of groundwater radioactive elements, removal of heavy metal elements, municipal water ultrafiltration, municipal sewage MBR, seawater desalination, high temperature refractory wastewater treatment, mineral wastewater, oil field wastewater, refinery wastewater, steel mill wastewater, papermaking wastewater and other fields.

Compared with polymer membranes, ItN ceramic flat membranes have 3-5 times longer service life, 3-10 times higher membrane flux, 50% less chemical consumption, and 50% reduction in operation and maintenance costs and energy consumption. The ceramic membrane can adapt to a wide range of temperatures, the minimum temperature is below 5°C, and the maximum temperature can reach 90°C. Compared with polymer ultrafiltration membranes that break easily under low temperature and high temperature, it has considerable advantages. Membrane fouling is an unavoidable problem, and ceramic membranes have better resistance to contamination.

Just one year after the promotion in China, German ItN ceramic membrane has been widely recognized and established in the coal chemical industry, mine water, steel, municipal, desalination, petrochemical oilfields and other industries. As the future technology leading the development of ultrafiltration, Germany's ItN will continue to advance, and will introduce other membrane separation and advanced technologies including tubular ceramic membranes, which will contribute to the progress of environmental protection in China.
