Clean Water Agency - Membrane Filtration
Membrane-filtration (MF) is a pressure-driven technology commonly used to remove suspended solids, bacteria and viruses, providing a physical barrier to pathogens in consumable water production. In addition to providing a very high purity, low Silt Density Index (SDI) product regardless of the incoming water quality. Membrane-filtration offers a pretreatment alternative for surface water, seawater and biological treatment of municipality effluent prior to reverse osmosis (RO) and other membrane systems. As a result of a special mixture of polymers and new production methods our membrane has a very open foam structure as well as a very low resistance with a higher flux and lower fouling. In addition to a high chemical and biological resistance, our revolutionary membranes have a very high mechanical stability. Our membranes with 7 capillaires in each fiber are much stronger and can sustain high pressure water surges more easily than conventional single bore membranes.
