    Description

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

    In water treatment plants, the core function of ultrafiltration membranes is physical sieving. Like an "extra-fine sieve," it efficiently removes suspended solids, colloids, bacteria, viruses, and other harmful substances from the water with its extremely small pores, thereby significantly improving the safety and sensory quality of drinking water.
    Along with the development of the tap water requirement, the traditional ultrafiltration membranes which produced from organic material such as PVC, PE, PDFE,etc are hard to be compatible as the risk of leakage of micropollutants after filter system aging. To instead, ceramic UF membrane becomes more and more popular.

    Process Overview

    High-level drinking water source → Chemical dosing and flocculation → High-level sedimentation and filtration tower → Self-cleaning filter → Ceramic ultrafiltration membrane module → Disinfection → Water storage tank → External pump → User
    Ceramic Ultrafiltration membranes typically have a filtration precision between 0.01 and 0.02 micrometers (μm) (equivalent to 10-20 nanometers). This pore size is smaller than the size of most bacteria and viruses, enabling highly efficient and stable purification.
