Initiative – Forum – Network

In recent years, a wide variety of filtration processes have opened up new possibilities for separating substances. Due to their effective and energy-efficient capacities, membrane processes are among the key technologies of the 21st century and play a pivotal role in the protection of climate, nature and resources. The DGMT was founded in 2000 as a non-company specific professional association following the initiative of companies, institutions and interested professionals from various fields of work. Since then, more than 100 members have accompanied and supported the use and dissemination of membrane technology in Germany.

In the form of specialist events, lectures and discussions, the DGMT provides a forum for its members and cooperating partners for the exchange of knowledge and experience on membrane technology and to illustrate the diversity of creative and innovative membrane research and applications. With this aim in mind, the DGMT pursues target-oriented public relations work, for example by means of the DGMT working group on micropollutants. Acting as the crucial link in a network of various user groups as well as other professional associations and international membrane associations, the DGMT facilitates the exchange of information on the topic of membrane technology.
