Abstract
Ultrafiltration separator with a membrane made of a stainless steel or titanium wire weave with a wire diameter of less than 0.02 mm, exhibiting more than 2000 picks, i.e. more than 2000 pores per inch, with mesh openings less than 0.004 mm in size, whereby the direction of flow for the medium to be filtered is parallel to the membrane and elevations generating turbulence are positioned at the surface of the membrane, transverse to the direction of flow.
Claims26
An ultrafiltration separator membrane for an ultrafiltration separator, the membrane consisting essentially a metal wire mesh wire a wire of less than 0.02 mm in diameter, exhibiting more than 2000 picks, i.e. more than 2000 pores per inch and with the size of the mesh openings less than 0.004 mm.
An ultrafiltration separator membrane for an ultrafiltration separator, the membrane consisting essentially of a metal wire mesh with a wire of less than 3000 picks, i.e. more than 3000 pores per inch and with the size of the mesh openings less than 0.002 mm.
An ultrafiltration separator comprising:
- means for passing a fluid to be ultrafiltered, the means including a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet spaced away from the inlet;
- an ultrafiltration separator membrane supported between the inlet and the outlet, the membrane having a surface for the passing means to pass the fluid along the surface of the membrane;
- the membrane consisting essentially of a wire mesh made of stainless steel or titanium wire with a wire diameter of less than 0.02 mm, exhibiting more than 2000 picks, i.e. more than 2000 pores per inch and with the size of the mesh openings less than 0.004 mm
- the membrane surface being arranged parallel to the direction of flow of the medium being filtered.
