Tubular Membranes

Microfiltration membrane process is a filtration technique that uses a membrane with very small pores to separate particles and substances based on their size. The membrane acts as a physical barrier and allows the passage of only particles that are smaller than the pore size, while retaining larger particles. Microfiltration is commonly used in various industrial processes, such as wastewater treatment, food and beverage processing, and pharmaceutical manufacturing. It is a cost-effective and efficient method for removing contaminants, bacteria, and suspended solids from liquids.

Ceramic microfiltration membrane is a type of physical filter element where a contaminated fluid is passed through a special pore-sized membrane to separate microorganisms and suspended particles from process liquid. The most common application of ceramic microfiltration membrane is clarification, or removal of suspended solids to produce a clear liquid. It is commonly used in conjunction with various other separation processes such as ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis membrane technology to provide a product stream which is free of undesired contaminants. Examples include clarification of whole cell broths; purification processes in which macromolecules must be separated from other large molecules, enzymes or cell debris; clarification of dextrose and highly colored fruit juices, wine and beer, during which fruit juice membrane and beer membrane filtration will be used; whey de-fatting and casein removal. Ceramic microfiltration membrane systems operate at relatively low pressures and come in a variety of configurations. They are characterized by pore size, ranging from 0.05 micron to 1 micron.

JIUWU company offers a large choice of ceramic microfiltration membranes with different geometries and cut-offs to meet your process requirements in viscosity, molecule size, impurity profile, purity and yield target, etc. as well as cleaning and sanitization procedures.

MF ceramic membrane usually serves as a pre-treatment for other separation processes such as ultrafiltration, and a post-treatment for granular media filtration. Learn more micro filtration technology here!

Ceramic microfiltration membranes are made from ceramic materials such as alumina, zirconia, and titania. These membranes have a highly porous structure and are capable of removing particles in the range of 0.1 to 10 micrometers. Ceramic membranes are known for their high chemical and thermal stability, making them suitable for harsh operating conditions. They are also highly durable and resistant to fouling, making them a popular choice for industrial applications such as wastewater treatment, food and beverage processing, and pharmaceutical production. However, ceramic membranes tend to be more expensive than polymeric membranes, and their production process is more complex.
