Membrane filtration systems for Microza products
From proposal of membrane product selection to design and fabrication of the optimum equipment for your microza products
Microza has been highly rated for having high-quality and magnificent supply service systems throughout its 40-year history of membrane development. It has no equal in Japan in applications for large-scale integration (LSI), chemical products, automotive, pharmaceuticals, food products, etc. In applications for water purification and wastewater and sewage recycling, it has a world eminent share.
Asahi Kasei contributes to solving all kinds of troubles of customers by using knowledge and experiences obtained from enormous results in and outside Japan and know-how accumulated via technological services provided over the years.
For introducing Microza, we are providing consultation services for selecting the optimum membrane product, engineering supports on optimum operation methods and systemization, and design and manufacturing services of membrane filtration systems optimum for Microza products. Even after installation, support services by professional engineers are available in cases of operation trouble.
Pharmaceuticals
In the field of pharmaceuticals, Microza membrane filtration systems are
widely used for the purification of antibiotics, production of water for injection (WFI) and sterile water, etc.
System advantages
- The system can be designed to be fully automated, from filtration to washing, and maintenance-free, contributing to labor savings and refinement of processes.
- The advantages of being a module, such as in-line hot water disinfection and chemical washing, can be fully manifested.
- All systems, from tryout devices to large-scale facilities, are designed using software technologies backed by abundant experiences and accumulated technological knowledge.
Major application
- Production of water for injection (WFI) (depyrogenation)
- Purification of the bulk drug (depyrogenation)
- Purification of fermented liquid (removal of fungus/bacteria and deproteinization)
- Concentrated solutions of enzyme and protein (desalination and concentration)
- The concentration of vaccine and blood products (concentration)
Food
In the field of food, Microza membrane filtration systems are actively used not only for removing toxic substances but also in biological processes of raw materials preparation
as well as a wide range of purposes including enzyme concentration.
Major applications
- Purification of fermented liquid (removal of fungus/bacteria and deproteinization)
- Concentrated solutions of enzyme and protein solutions (desalination and concentration)
- Soy sauce (removal of lees, recovery of soy sauce remaining on the lees, sterilization)
- Sake (enzyme removal, microorganism elimination, and removal of lees)
- Honey, sugar alcohol, fermented seasoning liquid (deproteinization)
- Purification (removal of fungus/bacteria and deproteinization) of all kinds of extracts (marine, livestock, vegetable, fruit juice)
- Fucoidan, lycopene (desalination and concentration)
- Wine (clarification)
- Noodle soup, vinegar (microorganism elimination)
- Milk formula for baby (removal of fungus/bacteria)
Chemical
Microza systems are actively employed in the production of raw materials,
such as ceramic materials, materials related to inkjets, polishing material for semiconductors, IT-related materials, organic emulsion, and special functional materials.
Microza systems respond to the needs of concentration and purification (desalination, etc.) of colloid solutions.

Water treatment
- Water purification and desalination of seawater
Water purification plants are rapidly increasing where membrane filtration is implemented to improve water quality, reduce maintenance labor and save space.
Microza has been introduced into many purification plants throughout the world and is receiving top-class ratings.
Major applications
- Water purification plant, small-scale water-supply system
- Clarification of underground water and river water
- Clarification of industrial water
- Reverse osmosis (RO) pretreatment for desalination of seawater
- Recycling of sewage and wastewater
Recovery of wastewater is important for environmental protection and the effective use of water resources.
Microza has been installed at large leisure parks and industrial plants to efficiently clarify sewage
and factory wastewater and eliminate microorganisms for recycling the water.
Major applications
- Sewage system
- Clarification of industrial wastewater for recycling
- Sewage purification
Recycling of industrial wastewater and sewage
Solution to shortages of potable water resources and industrial water
