Compact spiral-wound filter elements, modules and systems

Abstract

The Filtration Apparatus uses the principal of cross-flow filtration process with modification intended for online self-cleaning and backwash for the hollow fibre membrane either in automatic or manual mode with no electrical power required using the source water. With cross-flow filtration the tangential motion of the bulk of the water fluid across the membrane causes trapped particles on the filter surface to be rubbed off. This means that a cross-flow filter can operate continuously at relatively high solids loads and other benefits included as follows 1. A higher overall liquid filtration rate is achieved by the prevention of filter cake or membrane fouling formation. 2. Process feed remains in the form of mobile slurry, suitable for further processing. 3. Solids contents of the product slurry may be varied over a wide range. 4. It's possible to fractionate particles by size. Cross-flow membrane filtration technology has been used widely in industry globally and with our modification “online Self-Cleaning and Backwash” features, the membrane fouling problem will be greatly reduce and the Home & Commercial Water Filtration Apparatus will performance at its optimization.
