  • When did Toray start developing membranes for water treatment?
  • Toray began developing membranes for water treatment in 1968. Since then, we have built decades of experience in R&D, manufacturing and application development for reverse osmosis (RO), nanofiltration (NF), ultrafiltration (UF), microfiltration (MF), and membrane bioreactor (MBR) technologies.
  • What is a Toray membrane?
  • The membrane embodies the sustainability vision that Toray rolled out in July 2018 by leveraging its innovative technologies and advanced materials to help restore the environment, with everyone enjoying access to clean water and air.
  • How can Toray improve water quality?
  • Once Toray’s membrane is commercially available, water treatment facilities installing it in developing nations will be able to optimally remove heavy metals, agrochemicals, and other toxic substances from raw water. Even for locations with low-pressure water supplies, such as homes and factories, it will be easy to provide sufficient water.
  • How did Toray improve water permeability?
  • Toray therefore began exploring a membrane mechanism that would help improve permeation. This resulted in a porous and protuberant structure that expanded the surface area, delivering selective separation greatly exceeding that of regular setups to triple water permeability.
