Feed water

• Recommended content suspended solids (SS): 12 g/L (other concentrations possible, consult representative)

Product water

• Solids-free effluent suitable for recycling applications, such as irrigation or as feed for process water.
• Produces high quantities of quality effluent at consistent flows.
• Provides continuous membrane integrity and stable, reliable effluent quality.

Mechanical / hydraulic

• Module Configuration: Flat sheet technology with crossflow aeration.
• Membrane Sheet Thickness: 2 mm.
• Design Features:
  • Open top and bottom channels to prevent sludge and fiber accumulation.
  • Self-supporting structure for frame-free installation.
  • Laminated membranes with a special spacer material for a "self-healing" effect, allowing biomass to seal superficial damages.
• Cleaning:
  • Backwashable with filtrate or chemicals if required.
  • Mechanically cleanable using the patented BIO-CEL®-MCP (Mechanical Cleaning Process) granulate, which removes the cake layer and can enable chemical-free operation.
