KOCH Membranes

KOCH Membranes

FLUID SYSTEMS was at the forefront of developing reverse osmosis systems since the 1960's when the first spiral wound membrane element was created. Since then, the company has gone on to innovate other types of membranes such as cellulose acetate RO membranes and thin-film composite membranes, which offer their own unique features. As a result, FlUID SYSTEMS have contributed greatly to the modernization of membrane filtration throughout the world. 

FLUID SYSTEMS was acquired by Koch Membrane Systems in 1998, one of the leading membrane producing companies in the world. FLUID SYSTEMS continues to be a major part of Koch today through assisting in the enhancement of filtration and treatment processes by high quality products and additional operational knowledge.

FLUID SYSTEMS was an early pioneer in reverse osmosis (RO) technology. Since 1967, when FLUID SYSTEMS developed and patented the first spiral wound element, it has created a line of innovation in the membrane filtration world. From the first cellulose acetate RO membrane ever installed commercially, through the first multi-leaf spiral wound element, to the introduction of the first thin-film composite membrane, TFC® – now a trademark recognized as a worldwide industry standard, the FLUID SYSTEMS company and brand continue to bring advanced solutions to the filtration market

Membrane configurations include tubular, spiral wound and hollow fiber. In addition to mainstream treatment applications, the Koch products address many specialty applications including dairy, wine and juice and paint recovery. Of the major membrane manufacturers, they likely have the widest line of products including complete systems for some applications. In the area of reverse osmosis, they have led in the manufacture of 18" diameter spiral wound membrane elements, including the development of handling and loading equipment.

After years of operating manufacturing facilities on the east and west coasts of the United States, they have recently consolidated those operations at their longtime location near Boston, MA. Major product brands manufactured by Koch Membrane Systems include Romicon, Fluid systems and Puron.
