While the main focus of the NPM-Lab is the material and membrane manufacture, applications have been explored in the group or in collaboration in water purification, ultrafiltration of proteins, forward osmosis (FO) and pressure retarded osmosis (PRO), ultra and nanofiltration, pervaporation, membrane distillation, fouling resistant membranes for membrane bioreactors and bioelectrochemical processes. Furthermore a strong focus is the separation of solutes in organic solvent medium (relevant for pharmaceutical and chemical industry) and in harsh conditions.
