Some details :

South Africa (Western Cape province)
- Collaboration with Stellenbosch University since 1999, on extractor-type Catalytic Membrane Reactors, for applications in dehydrogenation and more recently on xylene dehydrogenation, using Pd and MFI zeolite-based membranes
Two share Ph.D. completed (2001 and 2005). Another shared Ph.D. starts in July 2007.
- Collaboration with Western Cape University
Now renewed thanks to a CNRS-NRF PICS program for 2007-2010.

Spain (U. Barcelona)
Catalytic Membrane Reactors for ethanol dehysdrogenating dimerization (2004-). Ph.D. student stay in 2006.

Norway (Sintef)
- Collaboration on Catalytic Membrane Reactors for WAO of pollutants (1998-) through bilateral Franch-Norwegian programs (FNS) and a EU program (Watercatox).
- More recently, student exchange on zeolite membranes are in progress.

USA (Michigan State Univ.)
Collaboration starting on catalytic membranes for WAO.

Hong-Kong (HK UST)
Collaboration starting on the application of MCM membranes to water treatment and other subjects.

Lebanon (Univ. Libanaise)
Bilateral cooperation agreement (CEDRE) on water denitrification.

Cyprus (Univ. of Cyprus)
Bilateral program (Zenon) and Cyprus-funded program Kalima on water dentrification. Comparison of CMR and Mahoney-Robinson reactors.

The Netherlands (ECN)
Previous collaboration on Pd and zeolite membranes for gas separation. Now working on Pd membranes.

Germany (Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology, Stuttgart)
Informal collaboration on zeolitic hollow fibers

Pall Exekia (World leader in ceramic membranes)
Our main provider of ceramic membranes for catalytic or separative applications, since 1993.

Tredi (French leader in waste treatment)
Collaboration on WAO of water effluents (with Sintef) and other membrane applications. Partner of our new project "CO2 capture using zeolite membranes" (ANR).

Inocermic (German ceramic makers)
Provider of ceramic membranes for catalytic applications.
