Unique Properties
SiC is highly hydrophilic, which makes the membranes capable of processing large amounts of water at a very low pressure/vacuum. The membranes are oil repellant and as such ideal for applications containing oil.
Typical applications for SiC tubular membranes include:
- Oil & Gas
- Filtration of Acid
- Industrial wastewater for reuse or discharge
- Exhaust Gas Cleaning Systems
- Commercial Aquatic application
- Flue gas applications
Operation
SiC 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.
