Poreflon® Module

Category

Using PTFE which is high in chemical resistance , heat resistance and durability, we have developed aporous separation membrane making the best of our unique processing techniques and produced POREFLON Module as a membrane module for a water treatment system.

Features & Benefits

1.High flow rate! (Immersion / external pressure Types)

With a high porosity(percentage of void) between 75 and 85% ,resistance during penetration can be reduced, demonstrating a high permeability.
In addition, a double-layer PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) structure consisting of a skin layer (filtration) and support layer offers superior resistance to fouling.
Cross section structure of membrane.

High flow rate!

2.Comparison of flow rate (pure water)

Comparison of flow rate

Hydrophilic treatment allows easy transportation and installation (Immersion / External pressure type)
As PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) hollow fiber is subjected tohydrophilic treatment by means of hydrophilic macromolecule fixation, this product can be transported in dry condition. Moreover, hydrophilic property will be kept throughout dry storage after use : therefore there is no problem if you let water run through this this product when it is reused.

3.In comparison with other organic membranes, it is higher in strength, contributing to prolonged operation.

4.Membranes can be cleaned with various chemicals and exhibit high flow recovery.

PTFE' s superior resistance to chemicals allows cleaning with high-concentration alkali and other chemicals.

Measurement procedure
Tensile strength (hollow fiber): Measure breaking strength of a sample 100mm in length using a tensile tester.
Adhesive strength (sealed area): Fix the sealed area and pull the hollow fiber upward for measurement Using a tensile tester.
