The Importance of Results After Implementation
Membrane filtration systems are expected to be used for extended periods once installed. Therefore, durability, operating rate, maintainability, and post-installation support, including troubleshooting, are essential. With over 40 years of experience, Microza® delivers reliability and peace of mind.
Proprietary Manufacturing Methods and Extensive Operating Track Record Supporting Long Service Life
When introducing equipment, the ability to operate stably over a long period is a critical consideration. Microza® offers solutions for long-term stable operation, leveraging proprietary manufacturing methods and expertise gained from extensive domestic and international installations.
-
High Chemical Resistance and StrengthFor example, Asahi Kasei's Microza® includes products equipped with highly durable PVDF membranes manufactured using the TIPS method. Compared to conventional NIPS-based products, these offer improved resistance to solutions containing oxidizing agents and repeated chemical cleaning, minimizing the risk of leaks and damage.
-
Innovative Membrane and Module StructuresA sharp pore size distribution provides excellent filtration accuracy and stable water permeability, resulting in structures that suppress clogging over long periods. Some products use a double-skin structure with separation functions on both inner and outer membrane surfaces, achieving both extended membrane life and improved filtration stability.
-
Installed at Over 10,000 Sites Domestically and InternationallyThe high durability of Microza® is demonstrated by its installation and long-term operation at sites worldwide. Expertise gained from operating under diverse conditions provides a solid foundation for stable operation.
Stable Operation Achieved Through Ongoing Support by Engineers
Prompt and appropriate responses to changes in operating conditions or issues after startup significantly affect equipment uptime and reliability. Microza® provides support from experienced engineers to optimize operations and resolve problems, maximizing long-term equipment value.
-
Proposals for Optimal Operating ConditionsOperating conditions are proposed to maximize membrane life while maintaining processing efficiency, tailored to the filtration target and operating environment.
-
Prompt Response to IssuesBy conducting operational interviews and providing online support, issues are detected early and optimal solutions are implemented promptly.
-
Analysis of Used ModulesUsed membrane modules are analyzed after operation to propose optimal replacement timing and cleaning conditions. This approach helps balance cost control and stable operation.
Post-Use Membrane Analysis and Ongoing Maintenance
During continued equipment operation, membrane fouling and aging are unavoidable challenges. Microza® analyzes used membrane modules and optimizes operating conditions, cleaning methods, and replacement cycles to support improved long-term uptime and reduced equipment costs.
-
Assessment of Used Membrane Condition: Visualizes membrane blockage and physical property changes to determine appropriate replacement timing.
-
Optimization of Cleaning Conditions: Evaluates cleaning agents and methods to propose cleaning protocols that maintain stable filtration performance.
-
Performance Maintenance via Remote Monitoring: Some solutions include performance maintenance services with remote monitoring. System operation is monitored twice daily to check pressure, flow rate, temperature, tank level, and bio-particles.
