Micro Filtration Skid

Filtration Skid

Operating flux impacts fouling potential
The patented flow distributor enables even flux across the whole membrane, increasing average operating flux
The flow distributor creates micro-bubbles that minimise concentration polarisation enables operation at higher Beta factor
Ensures turbulent flow that disrupts the boundary layer and helps clean the surface of the membrane
Lower power requirements per m3


MemspinPlus

MF is a low pressure (10-100 psig) process for separating larger size solutes from aqueous solutions by means of a semi-permeable membrane. This process is carried out by having a process solution flow along a membrane surface under pressure. Retained solutes (such as particulate matter) leave with the flowing process stream and do not accumulate on the membrane surface.

ˇ Retains large suspended solids
ˇ Passes some suspended solids and all dissolved material
ˇ Pore ranges from 0.1 micron to 3 micron

The GrahamTek MemspinPlus micro filtration products are designed for cross-flow separation, where a feed stream is introduced into the membrane element under pressure and passed over the membrane surface in a controlled flow path. A portion of the feed passes through the membrane and is called permeate. The rejected materials are flushed away in a stream called the concentrate. Cross-flow membrane filtration uses a high cross flow rates to enhance permeate passage and reduce membrane fouling.

The GrahamTek MemspinPlus Micro Filtration unit is the result of exhaustive testing and designing to end up with a solution for the removal of suspended solids in the feed water of our Desalination systems. It is a perfect solution as stand alone plant for the treatment of turbid water and the removal of all molecules in the <0.2 micron range.

The MemspinPlus is also modular and fully automated with air pulse backwash through the permeate channel lifting foulant off the membrane surface

Micro Filter

MemspinPlus cross-flow membrane filtration controls the effect of concentration polarization and the gel layer. It provides the most rapid, and hence economic, continuous membrane filtration.

Principle of Micro Filtration
Micro filtration can be defined as the separation of particles of one size from particles of another size in the range of approximately 0.01 m through 20 m.
