How does it work ?

 

CeraMac® uses dead-end ceramic microfiltration technology housed within a compact vessel.

Water passes through the porous ceramic membranes, effectively removing turbidity, particulates, pathogens, and other suspended contaminants.

All feed water becomes filtrate, minimizing waste and maximizing yield.

To enhance performance, especially for the removal of organic matter and micropollutants, CeraMac® can be combined with ILCA – In-Line Coagulation and Adsorption. ILCA acts as a pre-treatment step, significantly improving removal efficiencies and extending membrane life. This combination offers a powerful, low-footprint solution for advanced drinking water treatment.

Our positive impact

CeraMac® addresses today's water treatment challenges with a robust, sustainable, and efficient membrane solution:

Enhanced Water Quality

Delivers high-quality treated water by effectively removing turbidity, pathogens such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium, and other contaminants, even under variable source water conditions.

Modular Design

Modular, frame-based construction enables substantial parts of the works to be completed off-site, accelerating installation, reducing environmental disruption on-site, and allowing easy scaling up.

Sustainability & Carbon Footprint

Made from durable, fully recyclable materials with no plastics. Our ceramic membranes have a proven service life of over 20 years in continuous operation. Both the membranes and system components are designed to minimise environmental impact over their lifecycle. The system also supports a reduced carbon footprint through low energy consumption and limited chemical usage compared to traditional technologies.

High Reliability & Efficiency

Achieves high throughput with a compact system footprint and low energy requirements. CeraMac® is resistant to fouling and compatible with strong cleaning agents, including ozone, ensuring stable performance with minimal downtime. Recovery rates typically range between 95–98%.

Frequently asked questions

How sustainable are the materials used in CeraMac®?

CeraMac® is built from nearly 100% recyclable materials, with no plastic. Its main components are stainless steel pressure vessels and ceramic membrane elements. Each part of the system (ceramic, steel, titanium, gaskets) is a single-material component, making separation, recycling, and disposal more efficient and environmentally responsible at the end of its service life.
