Objective
Due to rising water demand and an increased focus on sustainability, ceramic membranes, known for their superior chemical and thermal resistance, are becoming increasingly important in recovering industrial wastewater. With a CAGR of 11.9%, the European ceramic membrane market is anticipated to reach 3.5 billion US dollars by 2030.
The number of projects and R&D studies on ceramic membranes in Turkey is quite limited; there is not yet sufficient awareness about the necessity of ceramic membranes in the industry, and commercial production of ceramic membranes cannot yet be carried out. TÜBİTAK Marmara Research Center (MRC) is Turkey's leading research center producing science and technology with its research, development, and innovation capabilities. Material Technologies Vice Presidency (MT) of TÜBTAK MRC, with its interdisciplinary knowledge and human capacity in both ceramic and sol-gel technologies, can fabricate and characterize MF, UF, and NF tubular ceramic membranes on a laboratory scale. However, it has challenges regarding ceramic membrane substrate fabrication, scaling up, and ceramic membrane layer modification, limiting the real-life industrial usage for wastewater recovery.
The Twin-CeraMem aims to meet the requirements of the HORIZON-WIDERA-2023-ACCESS-02-02 Twinning Green Deal Call. The main objective of this project is to increase the scientific, innovative, and administrative excellence capacity of TUBITAK MRC in the field of ceramic membrane fabrication for industrial wastewater recovery applications in order to support the sustainable use of water as a natural resource.
This main goal is to be achieved with the support and mentoring of leading European partners Fraunhofer IKTS (Germany), which specializes in ceramic membrane substrate fabrication, and VITO NV (Belgium), which specializes in selective separation membrane layer modification.
