Summary
Product identification
TRISEP® UE50 PES Ultrafiltration Elements are polyethersulfone (PES) ultrafiltration membranes with a nominal molecular weight cut-off (M.W.C.O.) of 100,000 Daltons. They are designed for the removal of macromolecules or concentration of large organic solutes in both water and process applications. UE50 membranes are available in various spiral designs that can be customized.

Note: Shipping weight is dependent on packaging material and quantity shipped. For Female elements, Dimension “C” is the Inner Diameter. For Male elements, “C” is the Outer Diameter. Male elements have a protruding permeate tube, with a dimension of 25.4 mm (1.0 in).
Important Information
- Start-up: MANN+HUMMEL Water & Fluid Solutions recommends flushing elements for 30 minutes at low pressure and discarding permeate during the flush prior to operation.
- Cleaning: TRISEP® membrane elements must be cleaned periodically to ensure proper operation and to prevent membrane damage.
- Storage: TRISEP membrane elements must be stored appropriately to ensure proper operation and to prevent membrane damage.
MANN+HUMMEL Water & Fluid Solutions offers a full range of membranes and element designs for challenging water and process applications, including low-fouling RO, submerged UF, continuous high temperature, ultra-high pressure, and unique sanitary designs.
