Product Details

Description

Ceramic membrane is an inorganic ultra-filtration membrane made of Al₂O₃, used for water treatment systems developed based on traditional tubular and flat-sheet ceramic membranes. It effectively solves the technical defects found in the use of traditional ultrafiltration membranes (Organic membranes — PVDF, PES, PVC) such as fiber breakage, membrane fouling, and membrane lifespan issues.

💡 Its advantages of easy cleaning, long service life, high strength, oil resistance, strong acid/alkali resistance, and high flux make it a better choice for drinking water, food, and chemical industries.

It boasts high packing density. A single membrane column can achieve a filtration area of 12.5 – 24.5 square meters, which gives the module strong processing capacity while saving installation space. Its standardized and modular design allows vertical or horizontal installation like reverse osmosis frames, and it can be compatible with traditional organic membrane ultrafiltration systems, simplifying system piping arrangement.

🔩 Composition of ceramic ultrafiltration membrane: ceramic plate with shell of UPVC, Stainless Steel, or FRP.

The Difference: Ceramic UF Membrane vs. Organic Membrane

🏺 Ceramic Ultrafiltration Membranes

Made from inorganic ceramic materials through high-temperature baking. Features high wear resistance, high temperature resistance, acid and alkali resistance, long service life, and environmental friendliness.

Particularly hygienic for use in the tap water, food, and pharmaceutical industries.

🧪 Organic Ultrafiltration Membranes

Produced from organic materials such as PVC, PE, and PVDF using a chemical sol-gel process. Susceptible to damage from strong acids and alkalis, prone to peeling and fiber breakage, and have a short lifespan.

Aging of treated water may result in the precipitation of microplastic particles, causing micro-pollutants.

(Ceramic filter)

(PVC UF filter)

Ceramic UF membrane has its own advantages such as excellent high-temperature resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, and superior mechanical strength. Specially the big filter area ensures bigger treatment capacity compared with traditional membranes.

They effectively remove suspended solids, bacteria, and colloids, and can be applied in various fields such as domestic safe drinking water, municipal water supply and wastewater treatment, emergency water supply, water reuse, and industrial process wastewater treatment.

Ceramic ultrafiltration membranes have become an irreplaceable or more advantageous choice in the following fields:

🍺 Food & Beverage Industry

High-Temperature Pasteurization or Sterilization: filtration and sterilization of milk and juice.

Alcoholic Beverage Clarification: wine, beer, and spirits; can withstand frequent CIP (Cleaning in Place).

Dairy Concentration: Whey protein concentration, skim milk concentration.

💊 Biotechnology & Pharmaceutical Industry

High-temperature sterilization: sterilization and pyrogen removal for water for injection, vaccines, and antibiotics.

Demanding cleaning environments: production lines requiring frequent cleaning using strong acids, strong alkalis, and high-temperature steam.

⚗️ Chemical & Process Industries

Strong acid/alkali environments: Catalyst recovery, purification and concentration of strong acid and alkali solutions.

High-temperature organic solvents: Filtration and separation of high-temperature solvents in petrochemical industry.

Nanomaterial separation: Ceramic membranes are inherently stable and do not react with many nanoparticles.

🌿 Environmental Protection & Water Treatment

High-difficulty wastewater: Treats oily wastewater, emulsions, and electrophoretic paint wastewater; can withstand strong cleaning agents.

Membrane bioreactor (MBR): Used in municipal or industrial MBR projects requiring long lifespan and low maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

❓ What is a ceramic ultrafiltration membrane and what is it made of?

A ceramic ultrafiltration membrane is an inorganic filtration membrane primarily made of Al₂O₃ (aluminum oxide). It is manufactured through a high-temperature baking process, resulting in a membrane with exceptional wear resistance, chemical stability, and mechanical strength. The membrane module typically features a ceramic plate housed in a shell made of UPVC, stainless steel, or FRP.

❓ How does ceramic UF membrane compare to organic UF membrane (PVDF, PVC, PES)?

Ceramic UF membranes outperform organic membranes (PVDF, PVC, PES) in several key areas. They offer superior resistance to strong acids and alkalis, higher temperature tolerance, longer service life, and no risk of fiber breakage or microplastic contamination. Organic membranes, while lower in initial cost, are prone to fouling, peeling, and degradation over time, potentially releasing microplastic particles into treated water.

❓ What industries are best suited for ceramic ultrafiltration membranes?

Ceramic UF membranes are ideal for the food and beverage industry (milk, juice, wine, beer), biotechnology and pharmaceuticals (vaccines, antibiotics, water for injection), chemical and petrochemical industries (strong acid/alkali solutions, high-temperature solvents), and environmental/water treatment applications (oily wastewater, MBR systems, municipal water supply).

❓ What is the filtration area of a single ceramic membrane column?

A single ceramic membrane column can achieve a filtration area of 12.5 to 24.5 square meters. This high packing density provides strong processing capacity while significantly saving installation space, making it an efficient solution for both large-scale industrial and municipal water treatment applications.

❓ Can ceramic UF membranes be integrated with existing organic membrane ultrafiltration systems?

Yes. The standardized and modular design of ceramic UF membranes allows for both vertical and horizontal installation, similar to reverse osmosis frames. They are fully compatible with traditional organic membrane ultrafiltration systems, which simplifies system piping arrangement and makes upgrading or retrofitting existing systems straightforward.

❓ How are ceramic ultrafiltration membranes cleaned and maintained?

Ceramic UF membranes are designed for easy cleaning and can withstand frequent CIP (Cleaning in Place) procedures using strong acids, strong alkalis, and high-temperature steam — conditions that would damage organic membranes. Their robust chemical resistance ensures that rigorous cleaning does not compromise membrane integrity, resulting in a longer service life and lower long-term maintenance costs.
