Atec cooperates with a well-known filtration membrane manufacturer in order to develop new fields of application of membrane technology in sugar cane and sugar beet processing as well as in sugar refining. There are several possible uses for micro-, ultra- and nanofiltration membranes in that industry.

Potential benefits:

  • Reduction of operating costs
  • Higher sugar yield
  • Reduction of energy consumption
  • Better process stability

First trials show very promising results. Atec is looking for potential partners, preferably from the sugar industry, interested in further developing technology and applications in this field.
