PEEK membrane materials platform
Avanpore develops nanoporous PEEK hollow-fiber membranes that enable molecular-level separations in aggressive solvent and chemical environments where conventional membrane materials fail.

For decades, membrane separations in harsh liquid environments have been constrained by material durability. Avanpore addresses this barrier by transforming PEEK—one of the world’s highest-performance engineering polymers—into a nanoporous membrane platform for precise separations under extreme process conditions.
PEEK is known for exceptional chemical, thermal, and mechanical resistance.
Avanpore’s proprietary manufacturing method converts PEEK into nanoporous hollow fibers, creating a durable membrane material for separations that were previously impractical.
Why PEEK
Avanpore’s PEEK membrane platform is designed for demanding industrial separations where conventional polymeric membranes fall short.
Designed for solvent, acidic, basic, and hydrocarbon environments.
Maintains performance in demanding process conditions.
Nanometer-scale pores enable precise molecular separations.
Longer lifetime, less maintenance, and reduced process downtime.
Hollow fibers provide high packing density and efficient module design.
Compact membrane systems can replace larger, energy-intensive operations.
The same PEEK membrane foundation can be adapted for high-value industrial applications by tuning membrane morphology, pore structure, and surface chemistry.
Purification and recovery of active pharmaceutical ingredients in solvent-intensive manufacturing.
Membrane-enabled extraction and concentration of rare earth and strategic elements.
Waste oil, hydraulic fluid, and complex hydrocarbon stream purification.
