Following Nature’s Design

MEMBRANES have a variety of functions in organic structures. They trans-port, they separate. They generate and transmit electrical signals. They activate messengers, agents, enzymes …

These organics are structured in colloidal, microscopic particles. Their electrical charge determines the reactions with other colloids, with the surrounding liquid - and with membranes. The development of artificial membranes was closely linked to colloid-chemical research.

However, the industrial break-through of membrane filtration followed by the crossflow technology, which is not multi-functional, but focused on the effects of shear forces and pressure. The limited resistance of colloids to shear forces, to pressure, temperature, oxidation etc. can create problems, particularly when used for filtration of organic matter (food/ beverages, biotech/chemistry/pharma, pulp/paper, biogas ...).

Nature’s Design Applied

PANTREON has consistently developed ZELIX technology for dynamic effect, but for reduced mechanical stress and energy consumption, too.

This has improved the performance compared with other membrane systems. But what about the multifunctional properties of natural membranes?

The patented flow technology of ZELIX creates even more potentials.; especially for integrating and implementing essential colloid chemical functions of natural membranes, like kinetic activation.

to strengthen membrane performance by activating molecular interfaces
to sustain and strengthen natural functionalities.
