LEADERSHIP For nearly 35 years, Koch Membrane Systems (KMS) has been a world-class developer and manufacturer of innovative membrane filtration systems serving a global marketplace. GLOBAL POSITIONING KMS continues at the forefront of cross-flow membrane filtration and separation technology with membranes installed in more than 15,000 systems around the world, serving food processing, the life sciences, the water, and wastewater needs of various industries and municipalities. FOOD & SCIENCE KMS membranes support dairy, juice, wine, vinegar, biopharma, food processing and beverage applications. INDUSTRY KMS industrial applications include paint and pigments, automotive, bottling, power generation, oil and gas, pulp and paper, microelectronics and semiconductor processes. WATER KMS involvement in various water treatment applications includes high purity water, potable water, wastewater, industrial process water, and desalination. BROADEST RANGE: KMS covers the complete submicron membrane separation spectrum with microfiltration (MF), ultrafiltration (UF), nanofiltration (NF), and reverse osmosis (RO) products. As a result, KMS delivers an exceptional array of state-of-the-art membranes that include FEGTM PLUS, ULTRA-COR®, SUPER-COR®, and SelRO® tubular membranes; TFC®, ROGA®, SelRO®, and MegaMagnum® spiral membranes plus a broad range of hollow fiber products including TARGA®, TARGA®-10, ROMIPURE®, PMPWTM, PMPWTM-10 cartridges, and the PURON® submerged hollow fiber modules for membrane bioreactors. FAMOUS BRANDS Under the Koch Membrane Systems' corporate umbrella are the world-famous brands ABCOR®, FLUID SYSTEMS® and ROMICON®. All of the KMS membranes are supported by KOCHKLEEN® and KOCHTREAT® cleaning and pre-treatment chemicals and flexible KMS service programs to help ensure optimum operation and prolonged membrane life. HIGHEST QUALITY Koch Membrane Systems has earned full ISO 9001 Certification and adheres to strict quality control, environmental, and safety standards. With KMS offices around the world, you are never too far from an outstanding solution with the world's most sophisticated membranes.
| Brackish water demineralization creates cost effective drinking water KMS has a family of spiral reverse osmosis membranes for different brackish water applications. These unique thin film composite (TFCÂŽ ) membranes were developed specifically for demanding applications. Ranging in size from 2 1/2" diameter x 40" long through 8" x 60" KMS MagnumÂŽ Elements and the new 18" x 60" KMS MegaMagnumÂŽ Elements, providing outstanding efficiency in a small space. |
| KMS membranes can help meet tough discharge regulations Membrane Bioreactors (MBR) Improve Effluent Quality
Submerged hollow fiber modules are an important advancement in the technology of wastewater treatment. When used in an MBR, membrane modules are submerged in the activated sludge to combine the biological step and solid-liquid separation into a single process. The hollow fibers act as a barrier to bacteria and suspended solids to produce low turbidity water with very low bacteria counts. PURONÂŽ modules were specially developed to meet the extremely tough requirements of a municipal wastewater MBR. They are robust, require only simple pre-screening, and use a unique aeration design to reduce energy costs. |
| KMS Membranes For Bottling Applications In the processing of water for soft drink blending and bottled water operations, KMS Ultrafiltration Membranes remove micron size suspended and colloidal particles and microorganisms. Turbidity levels of less than 0.1 NTU are typical in water produced by ultrafiltration membranes.
As an attractive alternative to conventional chemical and physical filtration in bottling operations, KMS Ultrafiltration Membranes provide more effective and reliable pretreatment for reverse osmosis and ion exchange operations.
Production of consistent and high quality water regardless of feed water conditions.
Consistent and high quality water from ultrafiltration leads to improved operation of downstream processes
and improve product quality.
Highly automated operation for minimal operator attention.
Minimal chemical use resulting in less need to purchase, store and handle chemicals.
Minimal waste production and disposal.
If dissolved solids, organics, or other low-molecular weight impurities need removal, choose KMS' FLUID SYSTEMSÂŽ line of NF/RO products: |
| Wastewater Treatment Food Processing Food processing wastewater offers a unique challenge to any treatment system. Often containing multiple types of contaminants that pose serious threats to the ability of a standard sewage treatment facility, food processing wastewater can be processed using membrane technology to levels beyond those required by municipalities, and, in many cases, produces added value through the concentrate. Some of the applications include:
UF Permeate and Feed from a Food Processing Wastewater System
Flume Water
Difficult-to-handle flume water can be treated using membrane technology producing water that is often clean enough to reuse within the plant.
CIP (Clean in Place) Water
KMS can help design a membrane system that will reliably create clean water from your spent CIP water and permit reuse of CIP water and chemicals.
Starch Wastewater
Using membrane technology to concentrate starches in starch wastewater reduces handling costs and increases yields. Often the starch containing concentrate can be reused.
Food Processing Washwater
Wash water from such processes as salad dressing and margarine production, vegetable processing, canning, condiment products, etc. can be cleaned and the solids and oils reclaimed for other uses.
Contact us to learn more about salad dressing and margarine washwater processing.
Slaughterhouse Wastewater
Membrane technology can not only create pure water from slaughterhouse wastes, it can also be used to isolate Rhodocyclus gelatinosus, a bacteria potentially useful in treating industrial wastewaters.
Kitchen Waste
The combination of solids, fats, oils, grease, surfactants, acids, and biological activity in kitchen waste can clog mechanical filtration equipment and kill biological systems. Membrane systems, however, can be designed to produce clean water free of oils, biological and chemical oxygen demand (BOD and COD), and solids at very low cost with little maintenance required.

Bakery Wastewater
The concentrate produced by membrane technology from bakery wastewater can be sold for making pet foodâ creating added value at pennies per day. The treated water is free of suspended solids and can be disposed of through most municipal waste treatment systems.
Fish and Meat Processing Wastes
Fish and meat processing wastes can be treated using membrane technology, reducing the use of polymers and flocculants, reducing labor, and improving the effluent consistency over conventional treatments. Costing only pennies per day, this safe, simple method of waste treatment allows you to recover or sell the byproducts for other purposes.
