and separation can represent as much as 80% of the operating costs
for many industries, and membrane separations are gaining acceptance
as a cost effective option in many production settings. Newer, more
efficient membrane separation techniques can lead to more streamlined
production and produce significant improvements in quality.
The Center for Membrane Applied Science & Technology was
founded in 1990 to conduct research, transfer technology and promote
education in membrane technology. Originally known as the Center
for Separations Using Thin Films, we adopted the new name because:
-
Membrane => We are a global leader in membrane
research.
- Applied
=> Our research program is cutting edge and applicable to industrial
needs.
- Science
=> Excellence in science is fundamental to our successful research.
- Technology
=> We provide timely and relevant technology transfer to our
sponsors.
The MAST Center is a National Science Foundation Multi-site
Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (MUC I/UCRC), with
sites at the University of Colorado and the University of Cincinnati.
Headquartered in Boulder, the MAST Center has a 12-year track record
of innovation, operating efficiency, and broad-based corporate support
which makes us a leading global membrane research center. To learn

We specialize in basic research for development applications. Global
companies are currently focused on expanding markets, developing
products and services that fit existing distribution, and maximizing
shareholder return. At the MAST Center we understand resource allocation
and have designed our center to complement our sponsors' strengths
in product development. Our main focus is sponsor-relevant research,
and we have received global recognition over the past twelve years
for our high quality of technological and research results. For
more details on our research program, see the MAST
Center Research Areas.
Some of the largest membrane- products companies in the world are
MAST Center sponsors. The MAST Center
has greatly benefited from a sponsor mix that is balanced between
major membrane manufacturers and a diverse group of membrane users
from the petrochemical, chemical, pharmaceutical, water treatment
and food and beverage industries. These companies use their MAST
Center sponsorship to help maintain leadership in their markets.
Our sponsors recognize the many advantages of Center membership,
and we invite you to consider MAST Center sponsorship for your organization.
