In addition to the installation of a pilot filtration unit at CEI\u2019s laboratories, the scholarships enable two graduate or undergraduate students to conduct research and gain hands-on experience in the field of ceramic filtration. Scholarships will be given to students selected on the basis of their academic performance and interest in the technology.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size: 10pt\">Rauschert has developed ceramic filtration membranes that can be used in the production of food and pharmaceutical products, as well as in waste water recovery.
