This new generation of ‘honeycomb’ inorganic membrane modules for microfiltration and ultrafiltration has a variety of abrasion-resistant ceramic membranes applied to silicon carbide monolith supports. Product features include:

• High temperature capabilities

• Chemical inertness

• Ideally suited for feasibility testing

Many industrial plants totaling several tens of thousands of square feet of membrane have been sold in countries around the world using this technology in patented first-generation "production-scale" products.  The new membrane technology from HPD permits applications involving far more aggressive liquids to be handled based on use of new chemically-inert, abrasion-resistant membranes and support monoliths.

Membrane Module Specifications

Membrane elements are 12 inches (305 mm) long and 1 inch (27 mm) in diameter with bonded stainless steel end rings.  Membrane area is approximately 1.5 ft² (0.13 m²).

Membrane pore sizes and chemistries available: 

¹ Highly hydrophilic, non-fouling membrane for non-alkaline service

Operating Conditions:

Applications:

These membranes may be used for many applications in the food, dairy, beverage, pharmaceutical, metal working and finishing as well as many other industries.  However, HPD has not yet applied for FDA, 3A or other Governmental approvals.  However, based on approvals granted for its first generation product, HPD expects approval would be granted.  Representative applications include:

Foodstuffs:	Sugars, starches, milk, whey, yeasts, juices
Chemicals:	Solvents, latex dispersions, paints
Oils:	Oily-water emulsions, edible oils, waste oil treatment
Water:	Waste waters, potable water, membrane bioreactors
