Title:
Hybrid membrane separation process for separating water from industrial processes as an alternative to thermal evaporation
Agreement Number:
20801
Agreement Value:
$198,905.00
Agreement Date:
Aug 11, 2025 - Feb 11, 2026
Description:
The National Research Council (NRC) and the Natural Resource Canada (NRCan) aim to identify and promote cost-effective approaches for net-zero industrial processes that could include renewable energy integration, energy efficiency, electrification or other technologies that replace process heating requirements.
Organization:
National Research Council Canada
Expected Results:

This project aims to develop a new hybrid membrane separation process to separate process water in industrial applications as an alternative to thermal evaporation. The proposed solution is based on an innovative combination of ceramic and polymer materials, creating a hybrid membrane. This process offers significant advantages over reverse osmosis, which has limitations, particularly in terms of adaptability and cost.
