Innovative Technology
C-MEM is an innovative ultrafiltration technology using organic hollow fibers, with 0.02 μm micropores. It eliminates more than 99.99% of all bacteria and viruses during filtration process. The membrane fibers are integrated into a C-MEM cartridge that protects them from mechanical stress and optimizes cleaning and maintenance. The C-MEM cartridges can be combined in modules allowing the treatment of any water flow regardless of its volume.
Simple and robust process
C-MEM cartridges are fully submersed in water and operate in a dead-end filtration mode. Raw water is filtered from the outside to the inside of the fibre. A filtration pump draws the treated water from the top of the cartridge using negative pressure. Once a certain time or pressure is reached, the system initiates an automatic and innovative backwashing process. The backwashing process lasts only some seconds and is a combination of reversed flow of treated water and air scouring.Our C-MEM Membrane is one of the most compact and energy-efficient ultrafiltration technology in the world.
C-MEM for Drinking Water
World-Wide Water scarcity is becoming a more critical problem each day. To help solve this problem, Aventia provides you with the best technologies available for your purification projects. Depending on the pollution, the water source, and conditions, we design the optimal water purification system with the best quality for your drinking-water needs.
Efficient & Easy to Operate
Its simple but robust process allows omitting conventional treatment processes such as flocculation, sedimentation or sand filtration. Making plants more compact with the best drinking-water quality for your necessities. Thanks to the automated backwash cycle in our system the plants become easier to maintain and operate than other technologies.
Virus and Bacteria Removal
The average pore size of the filter is 0.02μm, so small that it allows complete removal of viruses and bacteria and not only their inactivation.
Adaptable and Scalable
Its modular design allows C-MEM to be installed in plants of all shapes and sizes. According to your water source quality and your expected output quality, we specifically design the best plant for your needs. But, it can also function as a Gravity Driven Membrane (GDM) for small plants or in its mobile version C-MEM Zero.
Ready-to-drink water
Water treated by C-MEM is partically particle free. The process does not produce any residues or emissions.
More efficient than conventional water treatment
Thanks to the nanometer size of C-MEM micropores, only clean water can pass through the fiber. All viruses, bacteria and solid particles in the raw water remain outside the cartridges. The produced water is clear and free of infectious bacteria and viruses.

C-MEM in Wastewater
Nuestra tecnolgía patentada e innovadora de ultrafiltración C-MEM® en nuestros sistemas MBR automatizados (Microbioreactor - una combinación de tratamiento biologíco con ultrafiltración) son mucho más compactos que las soluciones tradicionales requiriendo menos espacio y tanques de menor volumen con mayor calidad de agua tratada. Como resultado obtenemos un mayor costo beneficio para nuestros clientes ya que pueden reutilizar esta agua en sus procesos de producción.
Designed as a Bioreactor
In wastewater treatment C-MEM is applied as an MBR (Membrane Bioreactor). Wastewater is pre-treated biologically in a bioreactor and finally filtered with C-MEM. The nano-sized pores do not allow the passage of activated sludge or other suspended solids, viruses and bacteria.
50% less space
Its compact size reduces plant space requirements by at least 50% and achieves a much better effluent quality compared to conventional wastewater treatment reducing infrastructure costs.
Virus and Bacteria Removal
The average pore size of the filter is 0.02μm, so small that it allows complete removal of viruses and bacteria and not only their inactivation.
Low operating cost
The cyclic cleaning process lasts only 15 to 30 seconds every 5 to 10 minutes filtration, reducing the energy costs of the process. It only requires a minimum amount of chemicals thanks to its fully automated backwash cycle.
Modular and adaptable
C-MEM allows you to easily scale the capacity of your water treatment plants depending on your project. It can also be installed in existing bioreactors improving your current infrastructure.
