Membrane Scale-up 2021


In September 2021, Firmbase with its strategic partner Environmental and Water Technology Centre of Innovation (EWTCOI*), successfully scaled up its Super Hydrophilic Membrane Technology for PVDF Hollow Fibre Ultrafiltration Membrane. It demonstrated that Firmbase’s Super Hydrophilic Polymer (SHP) could be incorporated into existing membrane matrix at industrial scale and enhanced the membrane’s anti-fouling performance.

*Environmental and Water Technology Centre of Innovation is now named Centre for Environmental Sustainability (CfES), a Singapore Government hub for driving industry partnership in developing green solutions and fostering talent development for a sustainable future.
