TECHNOLOGY > CROSS
FLOW MEMBRANE FILTERATION
- Fluid
is forced across the surface of a semi permeable
membrane, under pressure, the fluid stream is divided
into two sections, a clean (permeate) and unclean
portion (concentrate).
|
- Reverse
Osmosis (RO)
|
- Ultra
Filtration
|
- The
majority of dissolved salts, metals, organics, bacteria
and suspended solids are unable to physically pass
through the membrane and are discharged in the concentrate.
- The
pure water (usually of drinking water quality) is
recovered.
|
- This
membrane process is used to separate Targe molecular
substances.
- It
will reject all bacteria and is effective to
separate oil from water.
|
- Nano
Filtration (Nano)
|
- Micro
Filtration
|
- Almost
like RO, it also removes many of the harmful metals
and oiganics. However, it will allow sodium chloride
(salt) to pass through.
|
- A
cross flow process typically used to remove suspended
particles, down to the sub micron range (0.02 micron).
