Our expertise

A multi-scale expertise: membrane material, membrane modules and complete membrane processes.

Our goal is to predict the performance (purity, productivity) and evaluate the relative benefits (OPEX, CAPEX) of a membrane separation process compared to other alternatives, based on various operational parameters (pressure, surface area, temperature, type of membrane material, etc.).

We use innovative membranes and advanced techniques to optimize separation processes.

Our team

MEMSIC relies on the know-how of its founding members, professors-researchers and recognized experts in separation processes, process modeling and simulation, numerical calculation and development of software solutions.

Eglé_Ferreri

Eglé FERRERI

Project Manager

Process Engineer

Graduated from ENSIC, Eglé worked at CNRS on membrane separation projects for large enterprises and SMEs, focusing on the recovery and purification of gases of interest.

She notably designed a demonstration unit for CO2 capture using membrane contactors and absorption as part of an European H2020 project.

In 2023, she joined MEMSIC to coordinate and conduct cutting-edge studies in process engineering.
