CERAFILTEC will spotlight its industry-leading ceramic membrane technology at Aquatech Amsterdam, Hall 12, Stand 706, where it will highlight groundbreaking projects and innovations shaping the future of water treatment.
Among its most notable projects, CERAFILTEC is partnering with xAI to build the world’s largest ceramic membrane bioreactor (MBR)—a transformative initiative enabling the reuse of 49.2 MLD (13.0 MGD) of municipal wastewater for cooling xAI’s supercomputing data center in Memphis, Tennessee, USA. The project, set for completion in 2025, represents a major advancement in sustainable water management by conserving drinking water and protecting the Memphis Sands Aquifer for local communities.
The first shipment of CERAFILTEC’s advanced ceramic membranes—supporting an initial 10 MLD (2.6 MGD) of MBR treatment capacity— is already in transit to the site, marking a key milestone in this fast-track deployment. CERAFILTEC’s high-performance membranes, known for their durability and efficiency, eliminate fiber breakages and deliver substantially lower lifetime costs—a critical advantage for high-demand applications like data center cooling.
Expanding the Applications of Ceramic Membrane Technology
At Aquatech Amsterdam, CERAFILTEC will showcase a range of applications for its ceramic membrane filtration, including:
- Backwash wastewater treatment – Maximizes water recovery, reduces energy and sludge disposal costs, and handles up to 80,000 ppm TSS.
- Sand filter upgrades – Increases plant capacity threefold within the same footprint, with membrane towers seamlessly integrating into existing tank designs.
- Tertiary treatment for water reuse and RO feed – Ensures consistent performance under harsh conditions, with resistance to oils, coagulation, and extreme environments.
Recent Project Wins and Global Impact
CERAFILTEC has secured and completed multiple projects worldwide, including:
- MBRs in Italy, the Middle East, and the USA
- Sand filter upgrades in India and Colombia
- Backwash wastewater treatment in Switzerland and the Netherlands
- Tertiary reuse and groundwater treatment in the Middle East
- Desalination pretreatment in North Africa
