Membrane & Spacer Systems
Applying surface engineering inside membrane systems to target fouling, spacer performance and long-term operational efficiency.
Membrane Technology
Surface engineering inside the membrane system.
Our water R&D applies the METASORB coating platform to membrane-system components where surface interactions influence fouling and system behaviour. A major development pathway centres on coated reverse-osmosis feed spacers and their role inside spiral-wound membrane elements.
Development Focus
What we're targeting.
02
Fouling Behaviour
Investigating how engineered surfaces influence biological and contaminant accumulation over time.
03
System Performance
Connecting material-level behaviour with pressure, cleaning and long-term membrane-system operation.
Application Areas
Where it could apply.
Each application is evaluated around the substrate, operating environment and required surface performance.

Development Pathway
From surface to application.
01
Integrate
Apply the coating to spacer and membrane-system substrates.
02
Expose
Evaluate behaviour under representative water and chemical conditions.
03
Test
Compare fouling and surface behaviour against untreated materials.
04
Validate
Progress promising systems toward membrane and partner trials.
R&D Approach
Built around the application.
Rather than treating the coating as a fixed solution, development can be adapted around the substrate, operating environment and validation requirements of the target application.
