Technical Breakthrough: High-Flow Pleated Filter & Tubular Microfiltration Membrane

Breakthroughs in high-flow pleated filter and tubular microfiltration membrane technology help cut costs and improve efficiency for industrial water treatment.

To address the high operating costs of large-scale water treatment projects, a filtration technology enterprise has launched innovative high-flow pleated filters and tubular microfiltration membranes. The high-flow pleated filter delivers 3–5 times the flow rate of conventional filters with greatly enlarged effective filtration area, reducing system pressure drop by over 30%. It is suitable for municipal water supply, seawater desalination, reclaimed water reuse and other applications. Adopting advanced membrane separation technology, the tubular microfiltration membrane features high flux, fouling resistance and easy cleaning, performing excellently in solid-liquid separation, fermentation broth clarification and advanced treatment of heavy metal wastewater. Combined use of the two products can reduce customers’ annual operating costs by 20%–40%. They have won bids for multiple industrial circulating water treatment and wastewater reuse projects.
