Spiraltec and Technical University of Munich Discuss Future Areas of Collaboration
As part of a joint meeting, engineers from Spiraltec and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) came together to exchange ideas on current developments, technological challenges, and potential areas of collaboration. The focus was on strengthening the exchange between research and industry, as well as identifying fields where both sides can contribute their expertise and work together on future-oriented solutions.
Spiraltec values the constructive dialogue and the valuable impulses gained from this exchange. Collaboration with research institutions such as the Technical University of Munich plays an important role in driving innovation, continuously improving existing technologies, and developing sustainable solutions for complex industrial processes.
Introducing the New DDP Compact System Line: Fully Automatic Diffusion Dialysis, Built to Scale
Building on the unique technology of diffusion dialyses, we're proud to launch our new generation of compact systems, the DDP4 and DDP11 — fully automatic units designed for efficient treatment of process solutions in metal finishing, surface treatment, and a wide range of other applications for free acid/alkali recovery. The DDP11 is built for higher-volume applications, accommodating up to eleven membrane spiral-wound modules with a pump output of up to 220 l/h, an operating pressure of up to 2.5 bar, and integrated feed tanks (3 × 35 l + 1 × 100 l) — all within a footprint of 1970 × 1000 × 1650 mm and an empty weight of approx. 440 kg. The more compact DDP4 offers the same automation and reliability for smaller throughput needs, housing four modules with a pump capacity of up to 120 l/h, individual 35 l feed tanks per module, and a footprint of 1600 × 820 × 1700 mm at roughly 300 kg. Both systems run on a standard 230 V single-phase supply and feature integrated safety filtration and flexibly adjustable volume flows out of the box.
At the core of both systems is our spiral-wound membrane diffusion dialysis technology, which delivers very low energy consumption and the highest separation efficiency for metal salts — while minimizing neutralization and wastewater treatment costs, and keeping maintenance requirements low. Whether you need the throughput of the DDP11 or the compact flexibility of the DDP4, our new product line makes high-performance diffusion dialysis accessible for a broader range of applications.
(Diffusion dialysis is a membrane separation process used to recover free acids and bases from electrolytic solutions, or to selectively exchange ions within them — and Spiraltec GmbH is the only company in the world offering spiral-wound membrane modules suitable for countercurrent flow operation, the configuration that delivers the process's highest efficiency.)

Diffusion dialysis for recovery of bases
After a long development of membrane spiral membrane modules for the recovery of bases, the first pilot plant with 20 modules was successfully delivered to customers.
Finally international trade fairs again
We look forward to starting this year's trade fair season with the Korea Surtech exhibition 2022. After two years of rest, we look forward to making new contacts and expanding our market worldwide.
4th place in the innovation award "The Surface".
The Stuttgart surface technology prize "Die Oberfläche" is awarded by Fraunhofer IPA. The award honors the most innovative applications and technologies within all disciplines of surface technology. Particularly noteworthy are innovations that are referred as "enablers" - those without the introduction of certain products or technologies would not be possible. In addition to the degree of innovation, the award distinguishes the energy efficiency, sustainability, maintaining competitiveness and the industrial feasibility of the application or technology. Here, all disciplines of surface technology are taken into account. Spiraltec GmbH took 4th place in this year's competition for the development of its spiral membrane modules: An optimized technology, using wound membrane modules, for the separation of metal salts and acids.
Spiraltec GmbH applies for patent for wound redox flow battery
Spiraltec GmbH is the first company in the world to apply for a patent to develop a wound cylindrical geometry for a redox flow battery. The aim is to adapt the cost benefits that were achieved by Spiraltec GmbH in the development of spiral membrane modules for diffusion dialysis to the redox flow battery and thus develop economically attractive high-performance batteries for a wide range of applications.
Spiraltec donates disinfectants to refugee camps
In order to further reduce the spread of Covid-19, highly effective disinfectants are required. It was obvious for Spiraltec GmbH to support the appeal for funds for refugees in anchor centers. Therefore, Spiraltec GmbH donated a large amount of its highly effective and environmentally friendly disinfectant to the office of Dr. Pierrette Herzberger-Fofana, Member of the European Parliament. We are looking forward to be a competent long-term partner for Dr. Pierrette Herzberger-Fofana and her team.
Spiraltec sells environmentally friendly disinfectants
The companies FUMATECH BWT GmbH and HPH Beteiligungsgesellschaft synergized to place an environmentally friendly, highly effective water-based disinfectant on the market.

New application for spiral membrane modules: Selective ion exchange
Spiraltec’s Spiral Membrane Modules have been tested for selective ion substitution. The substitution of Chloride by Sulfate Ions was demonstrated successfully in lab and industrial field test since the beginning of 2019. This means that from now on Diffusion Dialysis with Spiral Membrane Modules can simplify the recovery of metals by electrolysis as a upstream process.
