60 years of Pioneering Towards Sustainable Water

Toray Industries, Inc. has been developing water treatment membranes since1968. Today, we offer a full lineup of membranes backed by our sixty years ofexperience. Our advanced membrane technologies and global operations ensure
the success of any project.

At the Toray Group, we consider sustainability to be themost important global issue of the 21st century. Toray's
Sustainability Vision for water treatment aims to triple thewater treated annually with our membranes by 2030
(compared to 2013). We will continue to provide advanced
membrane technology such as RO membranes, further strengthen
our technical services, and contribute to solving water problems
worldwide.

Toray MBR Characteristics
Why Flat Sheet MBR? Why Toray MBR?

Toray PVDF flat sheet membranes for MBR applications combine the best features of flat plate and hollow fiber technologies,
such as durability, ease of use, less stringent screening requirement, small footprint, and low energy consumption.
The membrane's pores are small and uniform, resulting in increased smoothness of the membrane surface leading to excellent
low fouling capabilities. Compared to conventional flat plate series, Toray's NHP flat sheet technology has increased thenormalized membrane area by 50%, reduced module weight by 70%, and reduced energy consumption by 30%.
