Ultrafiltration/Microfiltration

IONPURE TUBULAR MICRO-FILTERS (TMF)

Ionpure's Tubular Micro Filters (TMF) provide an excellent barrier to the passage of solids. Commonly used as pretreatment to RO or post treatment to precipitation chemistry, TMF modules are designed for extremely high solids loading and can operate with up to 5 weight percent solids. The superior strength of the PVDF membrane/ PE (or PVDF composite) substrate allows higher operating and backpulse pressures for higher flux and reduced system footprint. TMF modules are also designed to be backpulsed. This unique feature allows for long operation between cleanings. In addition, the microfiltration membrane is chemically inert and can withstand the full pH range of 0.0 to 14. With consistent flux rates, using TMF is a great way to remove particles from your water.

What is Cross-Flow Microfiltration?

Cross-flow Microfiltration (MF) is a low pressure (0.7 – 7 bar, 10-100 psig) process for separation of larger size solutes from aqueous solutions using a semi-permeable PVDF membrane. This process is carried out by having a process solution flow along a membrane surface under pressure. Particulate matter circulates through the membrane tube, cleaning the membrane tube surface while filtrate flows through the membrane. Click to learn more
