The Membrane Filtration System is a high-performance integrated separation equipment based on advanced selective membrane technology, designed to meet precision filtration needs across multiple industries. It leverages the "molecular-level sieving" effect of membranes (Microfiltration - MF, Ultrafiltration - UF, Nanofiltration - NF, Reverse Osmosis - RO) to efficiently separate suspended solids, colloids, microorganisms, dissolved salts, and macromolecular impurities from feed liquids, while maximizing the retention of target components (e.g., active ingredients, beneficial substances, soluble solids).
Replacing traditional filtration processes (centrifugation, chemical precipitation, diatomite filtration), it solves industry pain points such as low purification efficiency, high chemical reagent consumption, and target component loss. Fully compliant with international standards (GMP, FDA, ISO, WHO), the system is widely applied in water treatment, food & beverage, biopharmaceuticals, chemical engineering, and environmental protection. It adapts to diverse feed liquid properties (water-soluble, alcohol-soluble, high-viscosity, high-salt) and production scales, from laboratory-scale R&D to large-scale industrial mass production.
Core Advantages
Precision Separation & High Purification Efficiency
Customizable membrane types (MF/UF/NF/RO) enable targeted separation based on particle size or molecular weight: removes ≥99.9% of suspended solids, colloids, and bacteria (MF/UF); achieves 60%–99% desalination or macromolecular impurity removal (NF/RO); and retains ≥90% of target components, ensuring consistent product quality.
Gentle Operation & Target Component Protection
Operates at room temperature (25–40℃) and low-to-medium pressure (0.1–2.5 MPa), avoiding thermal denaturation of heat-sensitive components (proteins, vitamins, active ingredients) and chemical contamination from additives. Ideal for high-value products requiring intact activity and natural properties.
Energy Saving & Cost Reduction
Pure physical separation reduces energy consumption by 30%–60% compared to traditional thermal or chemical processes. No need for coagulants, precipitants, or regeneration reagents, lowering chemical costs and secondary pollution treatment expenses. Membrane service life of 2–3 years (under standard maintenance) further reduces long-term operating costs.
Eco-Friendly & Compliant Production
Closed-loop process design minimizes wastewater discharge; permeate (pure water or purified liquid) can be recycled for production, aligning with green manufacturing trends. All wetted parts are made of pharmaceutical-grade 304/316L stainless steel, food-grade PVDF/PES, or TFC materials, meeting strict hygiene and regulatory requirements.
Wide Adaptability & Stable Performance
Handles diverse feed liquids and raw material qualities (brackish water, industrial wastewater, fermentation broth, fruit juice). The clarified/purified liquid maintains consistent quality (turbidity ≤0.1 NTU, impurity removal rate ≥95%) with no stratification or precipitation during storage, ensuring stable subsequent processes.
Main Features
1. Modular Design & Flexible Configuration
Supports customized combination of membrane modules (MF/UF/NF/RO) based on application scenarios (clarification, sterilization, desalination, concentration) and production scale. Processing capacity ranges from 50 L/h (laboratory) to 100 m³/h (industrial), enabling seamless expansion or retrofitting of existing production lines.
2. Intelligent Automatic Control
Equipped with a PLC control system and touchscreen interface, it realizes real-time monitoring and automatic adjustment of key parameters (pressure, flow rate, temperature, turbidity, TDS). Supports unattended operation, automatic backwashing, and abnormal alarm functions, reducing manual intervention and human error.
3. Integrated CIP Cleaning System
Built-in online Clean-in-Place (CIP) system with acid, alkali, and enzyme cleaning programs. Automatically cleans membrane surfaces to remove organic/inorganic fouling (protein, colloids, scaling) without disassembly, restoring membrane flux and extending service life to 2–3 years.
4. Durable & High-Compatible Membranes
Membrane materials include PVDF, PES, TFC, and ceramic, featuring excellent chemical resistance (pH 1–14), anti-fouling performance, and biocompatibility. Avoids material leaching and adapts to harsh feed liquid conditions (high temperature, strong acid/alkali, organic solvents).
5. Compact Structure & Easy Maintenance
Skid-mounted integrated design reduces floor space by 40% compared to separate equipment, suitable for sites with limited space. Key components (membranes, pumps, filters) are standardized and modular, enabling quick disassembly, replacement, and low maintenance difficulty.
