17 Years of LANRAN: Built Through Technology, Projects and Partnerships
What does 17 years in membrane separation mean? For us, it means 17 years of working on real industrial challenges. From ion exchange membranes to electrodialysis technologies and industrial systems, LANRAN has continuously developed its capabilities through R&D, engineering practice, and cooperation with customers and partners. Over the years, we have applied membrane separation technologies to different industrial processes — including lithium and new energy, chemical processing, water reuse, resource recovery, and acid & alkali recovery. But no two industrial processes are exactly the same. That is why many of our solutions are developed through close technical discussions with customers — understanding their feed streams, process requirements, operating conditions, and resource recovery goals, then working together to identify a suitable membrane-based process. 17 years have given us experience.Our customers have helped us turn that experience into practical solutions.And continuous R&D keeps us moving forward. As we celebrate our 17th anniversary, we would like to thank our customers, partners, and colleagues who have been part of this journey.
Electrodialysis for RO Concentrate Management in Steel Wastewater ZLD
Steel production generates complex, high-salinity wastewater streams. As water reuse and zero-liquid-discharge requirements become increasingly important, the treatment of RO concentrate has become a key challenge—particularly when the concentrate must ultimately be handled by energy-intensive evaporation processes. In the Yunnan Shenlong Steel Wastewater Zero Liquid Discharge Project, LANRAN’s electrodialysis system is integrated downstream of the secondary RO process to further concentrate the RO concentrate before final evaporation. At the same time, the dilute stream produced by electrodialysis is returned to the upstream RO process for further treatment and water recovery. Secondary RO Concentrate → Electrodialysis → Concentrate → Final Evaporation ↘ Dilute Stream → RO Process By introducing electrodialysis as an intermediate concentration step, the process helps reduce the water volume entering the final evaporation stage while maintaining water within the treatment loop. The system was installed, commissioned, and put into production in July 2026. This project demonstrates how ED can be integrated with RO and evaporation to optimize high-salinity wastewater treatment and support ZLD in the steel industry.
Bipolar Membrane Electrodialysis for High-Purity Molybdic Acid Production
Molybdic acid is an important molybdenum chemical intermediate widely used in catalysts and other high-value applications. With increasing demand for high-purity molybdic acid, producers are looking for cleaner and more resource-efficient ways to convert molybdate salts into valuable products. Traditional chemical conversion processes may require external acid or alkali and generate additional salt streams. Bipolar Membrane Electrodialysis (BPED) offers an alternative approach by generating H⁺ and OH⁻ through water dissociation, enabling the conversion of dissolved salts into acid and alkaline streams. LANRAN BPED Solution for Molybdate Conversion In this project, dissolved ammonium molybdate and sodium molybdate are used as feedstocks. LANRAN’s BPED system converts the feed solution into a molybdic acid solution and an alkaline stream. The molybdic acid solution is further processed to produce high-purity molybdic acid, while the generated alkali is returned to the upstream process for feedstock dissolution. Molybdate Salts → BPED → Molybdic Acid Solution + Alkali → High-Purity Molybdic Acid This process design makes the generated alkali part of the production cycle rather than simply treating it as a separate output, creating opportunities for chemical reuse and improved process integration. From Technology to Industrial Application The project is equipped with a containerized BPED system, designed and manufactured by LANRAN for industrial application. LANRAN’s technical team is supporting the on-site installation and commissioning of the system. More importantly, the project demonstrates the potential of BPED to integrate molybdate conversion, downstream purification, and alkaline reuse within a single production process. By reducing the need for external chemical inputs and enabling internal alkali reuse, BPED offers a promising approach to more resource-efficient molybdic acid production and molybdenum chemical processing.
