PCA GmbH was founded 1996 in Lebach, Germany as the succession company of the "Polymerchemie Altmeier" enterprise by Dr. Patrick Altmeier.
The Company moved in 2000 to Heusweiler and has shares on the "ECT GmbH - Entwicklungsgesellschaft für Chemische Technik", which also moved into the 200 m2 areal.
PCA now has the complete ability of membrane producing, laboratories for the characterization and development into its production facility.
The main field of activity of PCA is the production and development of ion exchange membranes, the engineering of electrodialysis plants for the use of the membranes and the development of new membrane processes.
Development and production of ion exchange membranes
PCA developed a wide variety of special membranes:
- Standard cation and anion exchange membranes for desalination purposes.
- Acidblocker anion exchange membranes with a small proton leakage optimized for the most important common mineral acids.
- Membranes for large organic anions with minimized ohms resitances and an small water transport.
- Diffusion dialysis membranes with high diffusional permeability for mineral acids |
