From a technological viewpoint, FuMA-Tech ranks as the leading manufacturer of ion exchange membranes, having comprehensive skills that range from the synthesis of raw and auxiliary materials, to the conversion of these materials to membranes and finally to their application in industrial membrane separation plants.
Polymer synthesis, manufacturing experience in film and membrane production as well as the reliable operation of these membranes in industrial products have provided the know-how for the development and serial production of proton-conductive membranes for all known polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells.
Due to the in-house coating plants for continuous membrane production, FuMA-Tech is well equipped, even today, as a supplier of membranes for operations at pilot and industrial level. The main area of FuMA-Tech’s competence lies at the heart of the fuel cell, namely the proton-conductive membrane, fumapem®.
As the sole supplier worldwide, FuMA-Tech currently offers a range of highly efficient fuel cell membranes based on conventional fluorocarbon polymers fumion® F as well as on newly developed, modern, recyclable hydrocarbon polymer compounds fumion® P.

For example, sanitisable reverse osmosis and nanofiltration plants are produced for water treatment in the beverage industry. Nanofiltration processes are available for the recovery of alkaline solutions from bottle washing machines and CIP plants. Ultrafiltration plants operating in the cross-flow or dead-end mode are developed for the sterilisation of drinking water while electrodialysis units are designed for desalination operations such as the separation of nitrate from ground water. Membrane bioreactors with both submerged and cross-flow ultrafiltration membranes are available for waste water treatment and industrial water reuse.
