Membratec ultrafiltration
All Membratec plants are not only meant to offer the well-known advantages of ultrafiltration (clarification and disinfection in one single stage), but also provide the clients with a simple, reliable and low-maintenance plant, so that the daily needs of the consumers can be successfully met by keeping operating costs at a low level.
In order to achieve this important aim, Membratec has developed its own process, which ideally integrates the different hydraulic components of the treatment plant in a fully automatic operating system, requiring only routine controls.
The main characteristics of the Membratec process are:
| Feature | Advantage |
|---|---|
|
Polyethersulfone membrane |
Performing and robust material, offering a high flux, tolerating chlorine and a wide pH scale. |
|
Fully automatic operation |
Autonomous operation, only requires routine controls. |
|
Modules under pressure, in vertical position |
Limited required space, individual (dis-) assembly, easy purge (air and water). |
|
Possibility of cross-flow filtration |
Operation possible even with high turbidity, good mixing of cleaning chemicals. |
|
Operation dependent upon raw water quality |
Autonomous operation, reduced risk of membrane fouling, minimised consumption of chemical agents. |
|
Operation dependent upon demand |
Continuous and smoothed operation, optimised energy consumption. |
|
Automatic cleaning in place system, with integrated neutralisation |
Autonomous operation, assurance of production capacity, respect for the environment. |
|
Backwash without chemicals |
Minimised consumption of chemical agents, respect for the environment, only a small quantity of waste water possibly requiring treatment. |
|
Automatic integrity test |
Assurance of the treatment quality, easy identification of a possibly damaged membrane fibre. |
|
Extended guarantee on membranes |
Assurance of a long-term reliable operation. |
