CeraMac® is an innovative and cost-effective ceramic membrane filtration process designed by PWNT. This design allows the economically feasible use of ceramic membranes on surface water for large-scale applications, as well as in reuse and desalination pre-treatment applications.
CeraMac®
Cost-effective ceramic membrane design
CeraMac® offers a compact proprietary system with multiple membranes mounted in a single vessel. This reduces the cost of the ceramic membrane system to a level which makes the system cost competitive.

The advantages of ceramic membranes include:
- No fibre breakage
- Indefinite life span (Proven to be > 20 years in continuous usage)
- Use of ozone upstream of the membrane for cleaning
- Possibility of using strong chemicals to clean the membrane and prevent fouling
- Use of high backwash rates to restore permeability
- Narrow pore size distribution
- Sustainable materials, with no plastics
- Potential for high throughput with small footprint relative to other technologies
CeraMac® offers the following benefits:
- Very small footprint
- Low energy consumption
- High reliability
- Low maintenance
- Powerful backwash, at a pressure of 5 bar
- High productivity > 95%.
