General Information
TaFlux TaCap Max series ultrafiltration (UF) membrane module TFMAX105 is a pressurized module, which is designed and manufactured for the filtration of surface water, potable water, seawater and industrial wastewater. These UF modules are made of new generation PVDF hollow fiber membrane with high fouling resistance and hydrophilicity.TaFlux TaCap Max series UF modules are 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
- Outside-to-inside flow direction
- New generation PVDF hollow fiber
- Uniform pore size of 0.08 μm
- Typical filtrate turbidity ≤ 0.1 NTU
-
Bacteria removal ≥ 4 log
Advantages
- High tolerance for feed water
- High-quality filtrate
- Less energy needed for high flux
- Longer service life by high fouling resistance and mechanical strength
-
Economical equivalent module for direct replacement
Applications
- Surface water
- Potable water
- Beverage clarification
- Industrial process water
- Reclaimed water reuse
- Industrial wastewater
-
Pre-treatment of sea water desalination
