Organic solvent nanofiltration membranes
New distribution agreement widens horizons for pharmaceutical, fine chemical, and chemical engineering industry
Grace Davison, a division of WR Grace, has licensed Membrane Extraction Technology (MET) to distribute its Starmem range of membranes throughout Europe for applications in fine chemical and pharmaceutical manufacture Chemical engineers at MET have worked closely with Grace and with researchers in the department of chemical engineering at Imperial College London since 1999, developing applications of these nanofilters in chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing

Achema preview: Membrane Extraction Technology
Full range of organic solvent nanofiltration products are to be exhibited at Achema for the first time, and a new product to test OSN applications on the benchtop will be unveiled
Use of organic solvent nanofiltration has considerable potential throughout the chemical industry; for example, it can replace solvent-intensive unit operations such as chromatography, reduce time and yield penalties on solvent exchanges, and recover expensive homogeneous catalysts.
Through this agreement, both companies expect to extend the range of applications for Starmem, and develop their use into a diverse set of areas, including pharmaceutical processing and biomedical separations.
