Features
Conventional filtration involves liquid passing through a filter surface in a perpendicular way. With crossflow filtration, where a semi-permeable membrane is used, liquid passes both through and across the membrane, keeping the surface clean of residues.
The benefits of using cross-flow filtration can include:
- Clarifying substances & filtering aids are not required - save on production, storage, labour and disposal costs
- Charging/discharging filter with filter medium not required - save on labour and costs
- Less filtration stages - single filtration
- Save on labour and operator mistakes -
- Elimination of processing time for clarification and sedimentation - less tanks 'locked-up'
- Continuous running - filtration cycles can last 20 hours and more
- Consistent flow rate - flow rate established at beginning of cycle and averagely kept constant
- Integral product recovery - lowest unfiltered volumes (0.2% of total volume)
- Energy saving - 0.09kW/100 litres of filtered product
