Proprietary Membranes

Permionics has been the pioneer

of membrane technology in India. Permionics
has the unique distinction of being the FIRST
& ONLY company in India till date to
indigenously manufacture Reverse-Osmosis,
Ultra-Filtration, and Nano-Filtration
membranes for various process specific
applications.

Permionics have specialist engineers to

design the optimum system for any process
and any industry. Specific membranes for a
variety of applications like effluent treatment
across a wide spectrum of industries have
been developed in house. These membranes
have exhibited consistent performance and
lifespan characteristics in a variety of
applications and industries like Bulk Drug
Manufacturing, Dairy, Pharma, Textile Dyeing,
Biotech and Chemicals Manufacturing sectors.

Permionics Membrane Coding

From the table below, it is evident that

Permionics manufactures a wide variety of flat
sheet membranes and custom designs spiral
wound elements to suit your application as
well as provide retrofits to existing elements
of other manufacturers.
Provide us, the model number and we will be
able to offer you an equivalent in performance
as well as size.

HPA Series :

The HPA series membranes are Proprietary

Reverse Osmosis and Nanofiltration.
Nanofiltration is a complimentary process to
reverse osmosis, where divalent cations and
anions are preferentially rejected over the
monovalent cations and anions. The
membranes, depending on the cut off, retain
organic molecules in the range of 50 400
molecular weights. This leads to a very
interesting unit process option in separation
where you need to separate organics from
salts or separate two organics of different
molecular weights.

The difference between RO and NF is that in

RO you have almost complete rejection of
dissolved salts irrespective of their valences,
whilst the rejection of dissolved salts in NF
membranes depends on the valence of the
cation or anion.

For wastewater treatment applications the NF

membranes are specially treated with our
proprietary chemicals which would enhance
their COD / BOD tolerances. These
membranes are tailored for high organic load
and they can treat effluents with COD levels
of even 40,000 ppm.

The major applications of the HPA NF

series membranes are:

Deashing & concentration of dyes

Concentration and deashing of sugars,

polysaccharides
Concentration of antibiotics

Softening of water

Color removal from waster streams

BOD, COD reduction in waste waters

The size and dimensions of the HPA series
Nanofiltration elements are as per
internationally available elements, which
ensure easy retrofit in any existing system.

Key Properties:

PH tolerance between 2 12 during

operation and cleaning
Low fouling due to high hydrophilicity

Low salt rejection at low molecular weight

cutoffs, thus allowing operations on high
salt concentrations at low pressures
Available in MWCO ranging from 50 to 500
Daltons
Available in tape wrap, FRP wrap and
sanitary conditions
Elements retrofittable with other
manufacturers pressure vessels and
elements
 Elements can operate on extremely high
COD / BOD streams like textile dyeing and
distillery
