PHILOS: 20 Years of Excellence in Membrane Technology



This year, PHILOS is celebrating its 20 years of excellence in membrane technology! Since our founding in 2004, we have been dedicated to advancing membrane manufacturing and water and wastewater treatment technologies. Over the past two decades, our commitment to excellence has driven us to develop groundbreaking solutions that make a real difference in the world. Our products, such as MBR (Membrane Bioreactor) and CUF (Compact Ultra Filtration), have helped industries and communities address critical water challenges, improving operations at various industrial sites and ensuring access to clean and safe water.


At PHILOS, our goal has always been to improve the quality of life for people, make businesses more efficient and sustainable, and ensure overall sustainability. We are currently working on cutting-edge projects, including humidifier and dehumidifier membranes, which promise to bring even more advancements in our field. Our performance speaks for itself, with over 7,000 wastewater treatment MBR and CUF installations and more than 300 system equipment deployed worldwide.

PHILOS Membrane Technology Product Line

Megaflux-CUF (Compact Ultra Filtration)

Our high-performance UF module excels in purifying water with high turbidity. It is designed for easy DIY assembly, making it ideal for export markets. Megaflux-CUF is perfect for water recycling and treating river water, offering significant reductions in installation area, construction costs, and production costs.


MBR (Membrane Bioreactor)

MBR features high tensile strength and long-term stability, maintaining excellent water flow and quality. Its unique structure prevents sludge accumulation, ensuring low maintenance and operational costs. This product also supports easy scalability and energy efficiency with low air requirements.


Ceramic Membranes

Our ceramic membranes specialize in water and wastewater treatment, separation, and concentration of various particles, including active ingredients, nanoparticles, and emulsified oil. They excel in removing fine impurities, making them perfect for diverse industrial applications.


Humidor Membrane Technology

Designed for humidity control, our Humidor technology provides efficient and sterilized humidification without forming water droplets. This disruptive development is ideal for hydrogen fuel cell humidifiers, industrial air conditioners, and household appliances, ensuring optimal performance and energy savings.


PHILOS Advanced Membranes Application Case Studies

When discussing the actual applications and on-site implementations of our products, we have numerous references from nuclear power plants and semiconductor manufacturing sites to food processing factories and laundry companies. Here are some examples:


Food Factory Wastewater Treatment

PHILOS implemented a wastewater treatment system at a food factory, processing 500 tons per day. Utilizing our MF Braid reinforcement membrane and MBR (Membrane Bioreactor) systems, the installation reduced volume while maintaining the same membrane area, allowing for the easy replacement of other membranes at any MBR site. This demonstrates our ability to provide efficient and scalable solutions for the food industry.

Semiconductor Company Wafer Wastewater Reuse (Ultrapure Water)

At a semiconductor company, PHILOS implemented a wastewater reuse system for wafer manufacturing. The system processes 300 tons per day using hollow fiber UF membranes. The filtration process includes coagulation sedimentation, multimedia filtration (MMF), activated carbon (A/C), UF, RO, EDI, and polishing. This comprehensive setup effectively resolves water shortages by reusing wafer wastewater, demonstrating PHILOS's capability in providing advanced solutions for semiconductor water management needs.
