Ceramic Membrane Filtration

With a pore size of around 0.1 µm, the ceramic membrane operates in the microfiltration range. This means that large quantities of water can be filtered per m² of membrane surface. When combined with flocculation or oxidation, the degree of separation that can be achieved is similar to that of ultrafiltration. The ceramic membrane offers many advantages over standard ultrafiltration membranes made from synthetic material. Ceramic is completely insensitive to pH and does not oxidize. Moreover, this material is extremely hard and stable (monolithic), enabling highly efficient backwashing using high-pressure water.

Key Features:

• Complete removal of turbidity and color
• High recovery rates
• Very high flux (specific flow through membrane)
• Resistant to aggressive chemicals  such as ozone 
• Life span of membrane cassettes approx. 30+ years
