Germany: WTA BVogtland GmbH, a German manufacturer of filtration systems, has launched its new submerged membrane module for filtration applications in the water and wastewater industry. This second generation of membrane module, named as HYBRID 2nd LEVEL (H2L), combines the advantages of two different module concepts that provide back washing ability, high packaging density, easy pre-treatment and ideal hydraulic behavior. The multi-layer design of the membrane pockets also ensures safe rejection of bacteria and solids. This product is available in 64 different standard sizes, ranging from 20 to 500 m² membrane surface area.          

TechSci Research depicts that launch of new product by the company will further strengthen the product portfolio of WTA BVogtland GmbH, and strengthen the position of the company in Europe and North American membranes market. In particular, since the United States is a major demand generator for membranes for water & wastewater applications, the introduction of new membrane products by WTA BVogtland GmbH is expected to have a major impact on the United States membranes market.

According to the recently published report by TechSci Research, “United States Membranes Market By Type, By Application, Competition Forecast and Opportunities, 2011 - 2021”, the market for membrane is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8% during 2016-2021 in the country. Membranes are used for filtration purpose in water & waste water treatment, haemodialysis, pharmaceutical, chemicals, and food & beverage industries. Membranes are classified into three major categories - Microfiltration, Reverse Osmosis and Ultrafiltration on the basis of pore size. In 2015, microfiltration accounted for the largest revenue share in the United States membrane market. Microfiltration and Reverse Osmosis are majorly used in water & waste water treatment industry, whereas ultrafiltration membrane find major application in hemodialysis equipment manufacturing market.
