Memsift Innovations and Murugappa Group Announce the Commercial Launch of GOSEP™ Ultrafiltration Membrane

Singapore-based

Memsift Innovations, an emerging leader in advanced membrane technologies, in partnership with the Murugappa Group, announced the commercial launch of the GOSEP™ ultrafiltration membrane and the opening of a cutting-edge membrane manufacturing facility. This milestone marks a significant leap forward in making one of the most advanced membrane chemistries accessible at scale, reinforcing Memsift’s commitment to revolutionizing the water treatment and separation industries.

The two companies formalized a partnership with an MOU signed in June 2023.

Gosep ultrafiltration membranes are made with innovative, chemically resistant, and highly durable membrane chemistry. They have applications in industrial wastewater treatment, resource recovery, pre-treatment for desalination, and chemical separation.

Memsift said that the commercial availability of Gosep membranes is expected to significantly reduce operational costs and enhance efficiency for industries seeking sustainable water treatment solutions, including microelectronics, textiles, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. www.memsift.com

Parker Launches Automated Solution for PUPSIT Integration

Parker Bioscience Filtration, a division of Parker Hannifin, the global leader in motion and control technologies, announced the launch of SciLog ® NFF+ PF. This innovative solution is specifically designed to assist biopharmaceutical manufacturers in seamlessly integrating Pre-Use Post-Sterilization Integrity Testing (PUPSIT) into their filtration processes, ensuring the highest product safety and quality standards.

The SciLog ® NFF+ PF system addresses the complexities of implementing PUPSIT in biopharmaceutical manufacturing environments. This fully automated, multipurpose Normal Flow Filtration (NFF) system features an onboard PUPSIT solution. It is designed with a compact footprint, making it ideal for Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) operating environments.

In response to the updated EU GMP Annex 1 guidelines, PUPSIT – an essential procedure for verifying the integrity of sterilizing filters before use – has become mandatory in most sterilizing filtration applications. This requirement is integral to quality risk management strategies aimed at validating filter integrity prior to its application.

However, implementing PUPSIT can introduce increased risks, such as a higher number of connections and elevated operating pressures, which can lead to human error and necessitate additional operator training. Operational errors can result in product waste, potentially affecting supply chains.

Parker has integrated single-use flow paths, advanced sensing technology, and automation within the SciLog® NFF+ PF system to mitigate these challenges. This design guides operators through the PUPSIT process and overall bioprocessing via an intuitive interface, significantly reducing the risk of human error. Operators can configure fully automated sequences to monitor, adjust, and record pressure and flow rates, optimizing processing times and maximizing filter life and efficiency. The system executes the sterile filtration sequence, with PUPSIT seamlessly integrating as a key step in the process, ensuring filter integrity is validated before product filtration. www.parker.com

Mott Corp. Supports U.S. Dairy Farm With Wastewater Filtration Systems

Mott Corporation, headquartered in Connecticut, announced a $40 million agreement with a large U.S. dairy farm operation to deploy its custom filtration solutions. This strategic partnership will involve deploying advanced filtration systems to treat over two million gallons of wastewater daily.

The custom-designed system was specifically tailored to address the dairy industry’s unique requirements, providing an efficient and cost-effective solution for wastewater treatment. This collaboration highlights Mott’s ongoing commitment to delivering innovative solutions that improve operational efficiency and promote sustainability for its clients.

Installing Mott’s proprietary Microfiltration (MF) and Sub-Induction Time Reverse Osmosis (SIT-RO) systems simplifies processes and enhances efficiency. Additionally, this approach reduces the need for common chemicals and other additives, leading to lower operating costs. www.mottcorp.com
