Filtration
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.
We are pleased to announce that the next generation
of the MAST Center will be initiated as a partnership between NJIT
and CU. Our 5-year award from the National Science Foundation and
new name became effective as of July 15, 2010. We will now operate
as the Membrane Science, Engineering and Technology Center, but
we will retain the MAST acronym. This exciting development provides
the Center with a unique opportunity to build upon a record of significant
accomplishment during our 19 years of participation in the NSF I/UCRC
program.
-
Membrane => We are a global leader in membrane
research.
- Science
=> Excellence in science is fundamental to our successful research.
- Engineering
=> Our research program is cutting edge and applicable to industrial
needs.
- 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
primary sites at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) and
the University of Colorado (CU). In addition, the Center engages
faculty participation from a number of affiliated Universities.
The MAST Center has a 19-year track record of innovation, operating
efficiency, and broad-based corporate support which makes us a leading
global membrane research center. To learn more about the National
Science Foundation Engineering Education/Centers Division, click
HERE to be connected with our Fact Sheet on the NSF website.
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.

The
Membrane Science, Engineering and Technology Center will be developing
a completely new website to match the expanded program of our new
Center! We will continue to provide essential updates on the current
site until the new one is ready--we appreciate your patience!
