Collaborations

Developing membrane solutions calls for unique technical skills and competences which is why we have assembled the most talented researchers from Aalborg University within this interdisciplinary field of research. Furthermore, our membrane product development and solutions are created in collaborations with other leading universities and companies worldwide working on different aspects of membrane technology from production of membranes, process design, monitoring and control and large scale membrane systems.

Mission

The mission of the Center for Membrane Technology (CMT) is to generate synergy within membrane research by bringing together the expertise from membrane development, control and monitoring, process design and scale up at one platform.

The center provides innovative and sustainable solutions to challenges within environment and process industry. High priority for the center is production of clean water (SDG 6 and 2) e.g. by developing and using functional membranes that remove or degrades toxic compounds from drinking water and wastewater. Recovery of resources from waste streams including recovery of lithium for batteries (SDG 12) and recovery of nutrients for production of fertilizer to ensure future food production (SDG 1). Reduction of energy consumption by introducing new energy saving membrane technologies for water treatment and resource recovery (SDG 7). Protection of the environment from pollution (SDG 14) by introducing membranes in wastewater treatment and for polishing of wastewater. Education and distribution of knowledge to the new generation and the rest of the world.
