TaFlux HFU Pro Series (TIPS)
General Information
TaFlux HFU Pro series ultrafiltration (UF) membrane module 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 TIPS (Thermally Induced Phase Separation) PVDF hollow fiber membrane with high tensile strength and fouling resistance.TaFlux HFU Pro series UF module is applied in new systems, as well as directly connected to existing UF systems as replacements, providing high-quality filtrate by removing suspended solids, colloids, pyrogens, bacteria, viruses and other impurities to protect downstream processes.
Features
Outside-to-inside flow direction
New generation TIPS PVDF hollow fiber
Nominal pore size of 0.01 μm
Typical filtrate quality SDI ≤ 2.5, turbidity ≤ 0.1 NTU
Advantages
High tolerance for feed water and high-quality filtrate
Smaller footprint design with CAPEX reduction
Less energy needed by high flux
Longer service life by extra high mechanical strength
Economical equivalent module for direct replacement
Applications
Surface water
Well water
Potable water
Industrial process water
Reclaimed water reuse
Pre-treatment
of seawater desalination
