Toray received the Society of Chemical Engineers, Japan (SCEJ) Technology Award for developing water purification process using PVDF (PolyVinylidine DiFluoride) hollow fiber membrane module at an award ceremony held on March 18 at the SCEJ Conference. SCEJ presents awards every year to show its appreciation for outstanding research and technology that contributes to the development of chemical engineering and other industries.

SCEJ selected Toray for this award because it rated highly Toray’s superior membrane technology in water purification process, its economic advantages, and its contributions to environmental protection offered by its water reclamation and reuse systems. The entire team would like to take this opportunity to reaffirm its resolve to further concentrate on water processing research and systems that contribute to the development of the industry.
