X-Flow-R-100-MF

Summary

Product identification

This document describes the X-FLOW R-100 microfiltration membrane, a stainless steel module designed for the filtration and/or clarification of aqueous solutions and beverages such as wine, juice, or cider.

• Product Line: R-100 MICROFILTRATION
• Article Codes (Module Housing and Insert):
  • 1.5 MF: 1832BB422A
  • 3.0 MF: 1832BB622A
• Module Naming: 6” R-100 MODULE RVS & R-100 INSERT RVS
• Mode of operation: Feed and bleed in crossflow mode with regular backwash.

Operating limits

• Max. system pressure:
  • 1000 kPa at 20 °C
  • 600 kPa at 65 °C
• Max. trans-membrane pressure:
  • 300 kPa at 0-50 °C
  • 200 kPa at 50-65 °C
• Max. backflush pressure:
  • 200 kPa at 0-30 °C
  • 150 kPa at 30-40 °C
  • 100 kPa at 40-65 °C
• Max. temperature: 65 °C

Note: Final maximum operating limits are determined by the lowest values of the membrane and element pressure and temperature specifications. Do not exceed 65 °C process temperature. Bring the module or element back to ambient operating temperature slowly (typical value 2-3 °C/min) to avoid mechanical damage.

  • 3.0: Crossflow flow rate 14.8 x v [m³/h], Pressure-drop across module at 1 m/s 7 kPa, Pressure-drop across module at 2 m/s 24 kPa
  • Superficial velocity (v) in m/s

Storage

• New membrane modules should be stored as supplied in a dry, normally ventilated place, away from sources of heat, ignition, and direct sunlight.
• Storage temperature: Between 0 and 40 °C
• Relative humidity: Between 20 and 80 %
• Modules should not be subjected to any freezing temperatures.
• After use, MF membranes can be dried and spontaneously re-wetted without wetting agents.
• For wet membranes, to avoid biological growth during shutdowns or storage, treatment with a compatible biocide is recommended. The membrane is compatible with many common disinfecting agents or biocidal preservatives.
• Short-term shutdowns: A daily flush with permeate quality water containing up to 2.0 ppm free available chlorine for 30 to 60 minutes may be adequate for bacteria control.
• Long-term storage: Membranes should be cleaned before disinfection. A 1% sodium metabisulfite solution can be used for disinfection.

Backwash Recommendations

• Backwash water should be free of particulates and of permeate quality or better.
• Backwash pumps should preferably be made of non-corroding materials (e.g., plastic or stainless steel).
• If compressed air is used, do not allow a two-phase air/water mixture to enter the element.
