Ceramic Membranes
Unlike conventional membrane which are from polymer, ceramic membranes are made of inorganics such as alumina, zirconia oxides, silicon carbide and etc. Ceramic membrane normally has an asymmetrical structure with porous support active membrane layer. Ceramics membrane can categorize based on different modules into flat membranes, roll membranes, hollow fiber membranes, and tubular membranes.
The membrane modules can withstand harsh operating condition such as high temperatures, extremes of pH (0 to 14), and elevated operating pressures up to 10 bar. This makes these membranes fit for many applications where polymeric and other inorganic membranes cannot be utilized. Furthermore, ceramic membranes are ideal for in-place chemical cleaning at high temperatures, while using caustic, chlorine, hydrogen peroxide, ozone and strong inorganic acids, and/or by using steam sterilization.
* High resistance on acid and alkali condition.
* Long operating life which is 2-3 times longer than polymeric membrane
* Extensive application range of water temperature.
* Environmentally friendly, can be recycled as a raw material for ceramic products.
* Good hydrophilic, low operating pressure, saving energy.
* High flux
Applications
Ceramic membranes are widely being used in a broad range of industries such as biotechnology and pharmaceutical, dairy, food and beverage, as well as chemical and petrochemical, microelectronics, metal finishing, and power generation.
