Breakthrough SNANO C+NF Membrane Technology
1
Innovative Structure
Combining ceramic membrane substrate and ultra-thin polyamide selective layer to achieve breakthrough performance
Optimized Performance
Optimized TiO2 skeleton hydrophilicity, formed an ultra-thin layer with extremely low resistance, and improved separation efficiency
Excellent Stability
Resistant to high temperature, strong acid and alkali, long-term stable operation, suitable for harsh industrial environments
The core competitiveness of SNANO lies in the self-developed ceramic-based composite nanofiltration membrane (C+NF), which is a revolutionary separation material that has overturned traditional membrane technology. This technology is based on the low-cost ceramic membrane produced by China New Ceramic Future Company, and through advanced interfacial polymerization technology, a layer of ultra-thin polyamide selective layer is coated on the membrane surface, perfectly combining the natural advantages of ceramic materials and the high-efficiency separation performance of polymer membranes.
Compared with the traditional spiral-wound organic polymer nanofiltration membranes, the SNANO C+NF membrane has completely overcome the defect of insufficient acid and alkali resistance, and can operate stably for a long time in harsh environments. Its bundled hollow fiber structure takes into account high flux and high packing density, and the backwash-free feature can significantly reduce operating and maintenance costs and improve water recovery rate. With the technical support of the Singapore Membrane Technology Center, various precise salt retention rates and MWCO can be provided to meet diverse application requirements, and achieve high repeatability, consistency and zero-defect membrane production.
Comparative Analysis of C+NF Membrane Performance
SNANO C+NF membranes exhibit comprehensive advantages in terms of purification capability, operating cost, and service life. Their removal efficiency for suspended solids, colloids, viruses, bacteria, heavy metals, and antibiotics reaches an excellent level, while maintaining relatively low energy consumption and high water recovery rate.
More impressively, the C+NF SNANO C+NF membranes demonstrate exceptional regeneration potential. Through a simple treatment and re-aggregation process, the membrane performance can be fully restored, which not only extends the membrane's service life but also significantly reduces the operating costs. This technological breakthrough provides a new solution for efficient separation, purification, and concentration, making it widely applicable in water treatment, food and beverage, biopharmaceuticals, and fine chemicals industries.

Deployment in the Chinese Market
Injecting new momentum into China's green development, while also setting a benchmark for technology application in the global market
The SNANO C+NF membrane technology has broken through the limitations of traditional membrane separation, giving it significant advantages in multiple fields. In drinking water treatment, without the need for complex pre-treatment or chemical additives, it can achieve highly efficient filtration by direct connection to a pump, with purification effects far exceeding traditional activated carbon and ultrafiltration systems. It also has revolutionary significance in the fields of rural drinking water and reclaimed water.
In the field of industrial wastewater treatment, the SNANO C+NF membrane not only can efficiently separate pollutants, but also can achieve resource recovery and reuse from wastewater, becoming an ideal choice for promoting environmental protection, energy saving, emission reduction and the development of the circular economy. SNANO plans to first deploy this technology in the Chinese market, injecting new momentum into China's green development, while also setting a benchmark for technology application in the global market.
