According to the United Nations, water shortages will affect two-thirds of the world's population by 2025 if current consumption patterns continue.1 CERAFILTEC, a manufacturer of innovative water filtration solutions, is helping to address this looming potential crisis with a unique new water filtration module molded from SABIC’s NORYL™ FE 1630PW glass-reinforced polyphenylene ether (PPE) resin.
CERAFILTEC’s new filtration module features an all-advanced resin design. It securely houses multiple high-performance silicon carbide (SiC) flat sheet membranes that can quickly and effectively filter a variety of water sources, including seawater, freshwater, industrial wastewater and even hot water. NORYL resin provides best-in-class hydrolytic and dimensional stability and chemical and high-temperature resistance, and is certified for potable water applications under NSF/ANSI Standard 61. These critical properties enabled CERAFILTEC to replace previous modules that required corrosion-prone steel framing with a fully injection molded design.
Finding the SABIC material was a turning point for CERAFILTEC and its chief executive officer, Kay Gunther Gabriel, because it made module design feasible using one single advanced resin. During material validation, application development and mold trials, SABIC provided the comprehensive documentation, data and technical support that ultimately enabled CERAFILTEC to inaugurate a new module production facility in Germany in less than a year. Today, the company is supplying a top-quality, durable and reliable product to customers and partners worldwide to help solve the clean water supply challenge.
