State-of-the-Art Technology for a Complete Solution
GEA Filtration has many years experience and expertise in the design of
membrane filtration plant. Being a system designer not a membrane manufacturer
means the most appropriate membrane and membrane configuration can be offered
for any application including spiral membrane systems, ceramic systems or plate
and frame systems.
Spiral Membrane
Due to their compact layout and large amount of membrane area per element,
spirals are typically used for high-flow applications with minimal or no
suspended solids. Their advantage is low hardware and operating costs.
Available for Reverse Osmosis, Nanofiltration, and Ultrafiltration
applications the spiral configuration is the configuration of choice in the
process industries.
Plate and Frame
The open channel design of the plate and frame system makes it suitable for
products with a high level of suspended solids as well as products with high
viscosities. Suitable for the mounting of a wide range of Ultrafiltration
membranes the plate and frame system can withstand higher processing and
cleaning temperatures and a wider pH range than the equivalent membrane in
spirally wound configuration and is widely used within the food and
pharmaceutical industries.
Ceramic Membrane
The tubular design and open structure of the ceramic membrane makes it
ideally suited for processing streams containing high levels of suspended
solids at low transmembrane pressures. The inert nature of the ceramic material
makes it suitable for processing aggressive components including solvents as
well as well as operation at elevated temperatures.
Suitable for both
Microfiltration and Ultrafiltration the ceramic membrane is the membrane of
choice for many sensitive fractionation process such as the fractionation of
dairy proteins.
