Details of Industrial Process UF AV/SW Series


Features of Industrial Process UF AV/SW Series

Adopts a cross-flow system to suppress the accumulation of filtered substances on the membrane surface and maintain high water permeability.

Backwashable, with skin layers on both inner and outer surfaces for high compressive strength, reducing the risk of membrane damage.

A lineup with large hollow fiber inner diameters is available, providing a structure that is less prone to slurry clogging.

High chemical resistance allows membrane cleaning with oxidizing agents and supports a wide pH range.

A simple module structure reduces the number of components and dead space, improving liquid quality stability.

A double skin structure with separation-function skin layers on both inner and outer surfaces ensures high filtration reliability and strength (Learn More Here)。
