CERAMIC MEMBRANE SECTION (ENGINEERING CERAMICS DIVISION)
Major Activities
  • Upscaling of ceramic microfiltration membramne (MF) in tubular configeration
  • Application of MF membrane in surface water purification and as pretreatment of reverse osmosis
  • Laboratory scale studies of developing ceramic membrane for nanofiltration application.
Current Activities
  • Optimization of process parameters and upscaling of ceramic membrane technology for refining rice bran oil in the miscella stage.
  • R&D activities are being conducted at CGCRI with the ultimate goal of developing a complete technology package for purification of rice barn oil using porous ceramic membrane filters. The specific objectives of the present investigation are optimization of process parameters for pretreatment of rice bran oil miscella.
  • Development of technology package for ceramic membrane module for ultra filtration of vegetable oils for physical refining
  • The present proposal aims at development and upscaling of ceramic UF membranes for degumming of vegetable oil suitable for physical refining.
  • Upscaling of ceramic filter and system design for potablization of sub- surface water and arsenic contaminated ground water for community supply
  • The activities of the project include fabrication of multielement modules using 1 metre long ceramic filter tubes and develop system design for treatment of arsenic contaminated ground water.
