Membrane details

• Substrate Tube Material: Polyvinylidene Fluoride, Polyethylene
• Membrane Material: Polyvinylidene Fluoride
• Nominal Membrane Pore Size (MM type): 0.1 µm, 0.05 µm, 0.02 µm
• Nominal Sinter Tube Pore Size (MS type): 20 µm, 100 µm
• Key Performance Attributes:
  • High Flux
  • Long Service Life
  • Backwashable
  • Multiple Pore Sizes
  • PVDF or PE Substrate Available
  • Excellent Chemical & Thermal Resistance
  • Multiple Tube Configurations
  • Patented Substrate Membrane Bond (PVDF/PVDF)
• Structural Membrane Technology:
  • No membrane delamination
  • Uniform chemical and temperature resistance
  • Membrane fused to substrate
  • Higher pressure resistance for increased flux and reduced system size, improved backpulse efficiency.
  • Tough uniform membrane composite means surface scratches will not destroy overall structural integrity.

• Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) Systems

Performance

A "Flux vs Time" chart is depicted, showing typical performance. For a 6 ft., 10 tube module with 0.1 micron nominal PVDF membrane on PE substrate processing a FeCl₃/NaOH dosed wastewater stream with NTU >500, the permeate quality delivered was <0.5 NTU. Module flux may vary by application and solids concentration.

Certifications

• ISO 9001 Certification at USA, Germany, and Malaysia operations.
• Majority of raw materials are certified by their suppliers as meeting FDA requirements in the Code of Federal Registration, 21 CFR 177.1520, for food contact.
• Many components have been used in liquid filtration devices that carry NSF certification.
