The Membrane Center at Penn State

The primary focus of the Penn State Membrane Center is on the use of membranes applied to sustainable energy and bioprocessing, as well as the development of biomimetic membrane materials. Researchers associated with the center include faculty from across the Penn State University Park campus in chemical engineering, environmental engineering, chemistry and materials science. To find out more about research by the Center members, please see the links under the “People” page.

Penn State is also part of the Membrane, Science, Engineering and Technology (MAST) Center, which is a National Science Foundation (NSF)-Industry-University Cooperative Research Center. The MAST center focuses on membrane research in four areas: energy production, water treatment, pharmaceutical purification, and chemical processing. At Penn State, there are currently three projects being funded through MAST:  Understanding Fouling Behavior during Perfusion Operation of Cell Culture Harvesting (Qian, Wickramasinghe, Zydney); Single Pass Tangential Flow Filtration: Hydrodynamics and Flux (Zydney); and Elucidating the 3D Microstructure of Virus Filtration/ Ultrafiltration Membranes using Electron Tomography (Zydney).
