KMS' Specialty Applications: When A Specialized Performance Requires A Specialized Solution

Specialty Applications developed by Koch Membrane Systems work especially well in:
•  Reclaiming of high value materials (such as coatings, polymers, or active pharmaceutical ingredients) from waste process fluids including rinsewaters, solvent extracts, or mother liquors
•  Separation processing in the manufacture of non-food products such as enzymes, vaccines, antibiotics, reactive dyes, silica sols, photographic emulsions, and polymers.

 
Reclaimation of Chemicals
KMS Specialty Applications deliver a wide range of features and benefits:
•  Compatibility with water, solvent, water/solvent, highly acidic or highly caustic environments
•  Ability to process highly viscous streams such as those encountered in latex concentration, production of xantham gum, or concentration of polyvinyl alcohol
•  Ability to process streams with high suspended solids content such as papermaking whitewater and spent paper coating slurry
•  Ability to process abrasive material such as colloidal silica and kaolin clays
•  Ability to process high temperature (90 C) fluids such as textile desizing water
•  FDA approved materials for use in pharmaceutical and biotechnology applications, such as production of vaccines and antibiotics

This broad array of specialty products permits cost effective system design and operation, even in the most demanding conditions.

 
Hollow Fiber UF System
Most KMS Specialty Applications customers' needs are unique and proprietary. Therefore, KMS process engineering capabilities allow for application development on a customer specific basis. KMS excels at the supply of one-of-a-kind or first-of-a-kind systems. KMS has a long track record of developing a customized solution to a processing problem or cost reduction opportunity in a diverse group of industries, including: chemical production, pharmaceutical processing, textile, pulp and paper, and mining.

State-of-the-art manufacturing plants supply high quality products needed by those users who rely on membranes as an essential part of their plant operation, such as pharmaceutical and biotechnology plants, and electrocoat paint users.

The outstanding performance capabilities of KMS products are backed by:
•  More than 35 years of experience in developing proprietary applications
•  Laboratory scale KMS feasibility testing
•  Supply of KMS pilot systems to generate design data
•  Supply of commercial scale, standard or custom-designed KMS membrane systems
•  KMS membranes to replace those originally supplied by most major suppliers
