Integrating AGC’s R&D resources, sales

organization and marketing activities to serve

“separation” market

FORBLUE Family started November 2017


Application of Membrane Technology for Energy Saving and Storage

・ Improvement of Power Consumption

in Existing Application ・ Power Saving System in ZLD※

and Production of Drinking Water

・ Application for

Sustainable Energy Storage

・Redox Flow Battery

・H2 generation by Water Electrolysis

(e.g. Brine Electrolysis) ※ZLD：Zero Liquid Discharge

※) In case that a cell voltage = 3 V and Current Efficiency = 96%

Power Consumption of NaOH Production Effect of Voltage Saving

Power Consumption of NaOH Production in Electrolyzer

≒2,000 ｋWh/ton-NaOH

Power Consumption Save F-9010 membrane is just now

applied for NaOH production.

※) Plant Scale : 0.1 million ton / year

35ｋWh/ton-NaOH

3,500MWh/year

F-9010 membrane is performing

with 50 mV saving

comparing to the membrane of

one generation before.

Increasing TDS (Total dissolved solid) conc. from 2-3 % to 20 % by

introducing ED process

→ Reducing vapor amount and EVP size

→ Cost down of total cost (initial and operation)!


Purification of Ground Water Process for Drinking Water

Well Pump Filter Electrodialysis

IonｰExchange Membranes "SELEMIONTM" by AGC

Desalination of groundwater

Nitrate removal from groundwater Safety drinking water

**Selemion is an AGC’s FORBLUETM family product


Development of low cost ED system

15

Aim to provide safety drinking water in a stable manner

Firstly target is rural areas in India where:

• Frequent droughts (40% of the land is drought-prone)

• Increased demand for groundwater for irrigation (5 times more from 1970 to 2010)

• Groundwater with high salinity level

• Some rural areas off-grid, climate vulnerable population

Explore a business development of a solar-powered groundwater desalination &

purification system


5．Introduction of S-Series

- Sustainable Power Storage System


Application of S-Series Membrane for Sustainable Power Storage System

Photovoltaics Wind power

Water Electrolysis

To Produce Hydrogen

Some Other Renewable Power
