Silicon Carbide Ceramic Membrane Products
Silicon Carbide Ceramic Membrane Products
For more than two decades, LiqTech has manufactured products ofre-crystalized silicon carbide that provides state-of-the-art silicon carbideceramic membrane products for gas and liquid purification. We specialize in twobusiness areas: silicon carbide ceramic membranes for liquid filtration anddiesel particulate filters (DPFs) for the control of soot exhaust particlesfrom diesel engines. Using nanotechnology, we develop proprietary productsusing patented silicon carbide technology. Our products are based on uniquesilicon carbide ceramic membranes that facilitate new applications and improveexisting technologies.
Our diesel exhaust and liquid filtration productsutilize silicon carbide ceramic membranes, which have certain qualities that webelieve make our products more effective than our competitors. Unlikefiltration products that use aluminum oxide, silicon carbide membranes arechemically inert and temperature resistant. Furthermore, silicon carbideceramic membranes exhibit a high degree of hydrophilicity (a tendency of asurface to become wet or to absorb water) that results in unique flux (lowenergy consumption). Siliconcarbide is also very durable with a hardness second only to diamond, making ita highly desirable material for a variety of aggressive fluids in industrialapplications. As a result, we believe that suchsuperior physical properties make our products desirable in bothexhaust emissions control products and liquid filtration products.
