TaFlux IMX Series
General Information
TaFlux IMX series ultrafiltration (UF) membrane modules are pressurized integrated modules, which are designed and manufactured for the filtration of surface water, potable water, seawater, industrial wastewater and municipal sewage. These UF modules are made of upgraded new generation PVDF hollow fibers with extra permeability than IM series.TaFlux IMX series UF modules are 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
- Upgraded new generation PVDF hollow fiber
- Nominal pore size of 0.03 μm
- Typical filtrate quality SDI ≤ 2.5, turbidity ≤ 0.1 NTU
Advantages
- High tolerance for feed water
- Integrated design for easy installation
- High-quality filtrate
- Less energy needed by extra high permeability
- Longer service life by high fouling resistance and mechanical strength
- Direct and economical module replacement
Applications
- Surface water
- Potable water
- Municipal sewage
- Beverage clarification
- Industrial wastewater
- Reclaimed water reuse
- Pre-treatment of sea water desalination
