General Information
TaFlux TaCap Max Pro series ultrafiltration (UF) membrane module TFMAXP52 is a pressurized module, which is designed and manufactured for the filtration of surface water, potable water, seawater and industrial wastewater. This UF module is made of new generation PVDF hollow fiber membrane with high fouling resistance and hydrophilicity.TFMAXP52 UF module is applied in flexible UF systems, providing high-quality filtrate by removing suspended solids, colloids, pyrogens, bacteria, viruses and other impurities to protect downstream processes such as NF and RO.
Features
