Ceramic Flat-Sheet Membrane Technology
Built for long-term operation, Cerafiltec’s ceramic membrane technology delivers robust filtration for industrial and municipal water treatment.
Ultrafiltration
Ultra filtration technologies with a pore size of 0.1 µm are commonly understood as filtration solution to remove suspended solids such as clay and silt, pollen, algae, precipitated metal oxides as well as fractions of colloids. They are also a physical barrier for germs and bacteria and are classified as disinfection solution with typical log removal value (LRV) above 5.
Value Proposition

Reliability
24 /7Handles challenging influent conditions around the clock with minimal downtime, even at peak loads.
-
Efficiency
50 %Up to 50% lower operating costs through reduced energy use, CO₂ emissions, and maintenance.
-
Scalability
3 xIncrease capacity up to 3x by replacing polymeric or sand filters. No new infrastructure needed.
Pure Ceramic Membranes
Our membranes are made entirely from high-grade ceramic — no plastic fibers, no weak points. They’re built to withstand extreme temperatures, harsh chemicals, and heavy wear for over 20 years. That means no frequent replacements, no breakage, and a truly sustainable solution you can count on decade after decade.
Fast, Chemical-Free Cleaning
Uniform cleaning is the secret to long-term performance. Our patented FLEXX-CAP® system delivers air evenly across every membrane plate — even in the largest installations. The result? More effective cleaning with less air and energy, keeping your system running efficiently without dead zones or uneven wear. 100% cake removal without chemicals.
Engineered Modules That Bring Our Technology to Life
Our ceramic flat-sheet modules are the heart of every Cerafiltec system—compact, exchangeable units designed for easy installation in tanks or towers. Built on our 3-pillar foundation, they deliver high-flux filtration with minimal maintenance, whether you're treating drinking water or industrial waste. Choose the module that fits your feed—then scale with our towers for any plant size.
Scalable Filtration Architecture
The cerafiltec system offers modular scalability designed to meet any capacity requirement. It starts with individual ceramic plates featuring double-sided water outlets, which are housed in filtration modules containing up to 34 interchangeable units. These modules stack to form a single filtration tower (up to 16 modules high). For large-scale operations, multiple towers are integrated into a multi-tower configuration connected via a central header pipe, allowing for seamless industrial expansion.
System Design
Our technology is based on a simple and scalable modular architecture. Ceramic plates are combined into compact filtration modules, and multiple modules are stacked into towers installed directly in the tank. Towers can be arranged in parallel for any required capacity. The internal hydraulic design ensures low pressure losses and high filtration efficiency, while the fully corrosion-free construction guarantees long-term durability.
