Membrane technology
The Membrane Group at Lund University, currently lead by Prof. Frank Lipnizki, has been working consistently for more than 40 years in membrane technology and is the most established membrane group in Sweden.
The Membrane Group is strongly focused on the water-energy-food nexus and thus linked to the UN global sustainability goals 2, 6, 7 and 12.
The Membrane Group has experience in several industrial segments including biorefineries, pulp and paper, agro-food, biotechnology and chemical industry, plus water and wastewater treatment.
The key infrastructure of the Membrane Group is the MemLab - with the widest range of membrane equipment for different membrane processes in Sweden. The MemLab is able to handle feed solution volumes in the range of milliliters to cubic meters.
The activities in the group cover both fundamental and applied research. In particular development of membrane processes for industrial applications, fouling and cleaning for both conventional pressure-driven processes but also emerging membrane processes such as pervaporation, electrodialysis, membrane distillation and forward osmosis.
