Osmoflo and Cerafiltec expand partnership with exclusive agreement

Australia’s Osmoflo Water Management and Cerafiltec Germany GmbH have expanded their partnership into an exclusive agreement covering Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific region.

This agreement leverages Cerafiltec’s technology and expertise in ceramic membrane solutions, along with Osmoflo’s reputation, experience, and regional relationships. It enables Osmoflo to integrate Cerafiltec’s advanced ceramic products into its water treatment systems across the region, for end-users and integrators across water, wastewater, and desalination projects, including new builds, replacements, and retrofits.

The collaboration also focuses on driving upgrades to ceramic membranes for Membrane BioReactors (MBRs) and drinking water plants, as well as tertiary water treatment for reuse applications.

Osmoflo’s general manager of Strategic Growth, Scott Chalmers, said, “We look forward to incorporating Cerafiltec’s state of the art ceramic membranes into our Cerflo range of solutions to provide our clients with options to help decarbonize water treatment infrastructure and meet their sustainability goals. These advanced membranes set a new benchmark, and are a key technology for use in drinking water plant upgrades, desalination plants, PFW and industrial water treatment solutions.”

“We look forward to working closely with Osmoflo to drive greater customer value in a market that recognises sustainable and reliable solutions,” said Torsten Wintergerste, CEO of Cerafiltec. “Ceramic membranes are recognized for their robustness and reliability, setting a new industry standard. Their advanced technology, with exceptional chemical resistance, offers significant operating flexibility. High tolerance to TSS, oil, and temperature provides treatment options even for challenging feed waters, while a long lifespan ensures superior total cost of ownership for plant owners and operators.”

Osmoflo will showcase Cerafiltec’s technology at Ozwater 2025, 20–22 May at the Adelaide Convention Centre.

Kay Gunther Gabriel, founder of Cerafiltec, will join Osmoflo colleagues at Booth #E05, where both companies will present a demonstration ceramic membrane unit and highlight Cerafiltec’s state-of-the-art solutions.
