Unique Properties
Our Aluminum Oxide membranes can be delivered in pore sizes from 20-100 nm, which makes them ideal for applications requiring high retention of solids, pathogens, and other impurities.
Typical applications for Aluminum Oxide tubular membranes include:
- Industrial- and municipal wastewater
- Storm water
- Surface- and ground water for potable use
- Flue gas
- Alkali
- Food & Beverage
- Pharmaceutical
Operation
Aluminum Oxide tubular membranes can be applied in crossflow, semi dead-end, and dead-end systems, depending on the application and quality of water.
Crossflow filtration gets its name because the majority of the feed flow travels tangentially across the surface of the filter. In dead-end filtration the feed is passed through a membrane and the solids are trapped in the filter. The filtrate is released at the other end.
The main driving force of crossflow- and dead-end filtration is transmembrane pressure. Transmembrane pressure is a measure of the pressure difference between the two sides of the membrane.
Backwash and CIP (Cleaning in Place) is performed periodically to dislodge and remove solids that have accumulated on the surface.
