An industrial NF membrane

Industrial NF Membranes – 98% Retention of Dissolved Salts

Industrial NF membranes are a type of membrane separation technology equipment used in industry. Due to its specific pore size, it can filter out tiny particles, colloidal substances, and most of the dissolved substances in the solution, while retaining the water molecules and dissolved substances in the solution. Industrial nanofiltration membranes have a wide range of applications. In water treatment, it can be used to remove suspended solids, microorganisms, organic matter, and heavy metal ions from water, thus improving water quality. In food and beverage processing, it can be used to concentrate fruit juice, separate whey, remove impurities, etc. In the pharmaceutical and chemical industry, it can be used for separating and purifying drugs, removing impurities, recovering solvents, and so on.

Working Principle
Industrial NF membrane working principle

The feed water under differential pressure enters the pressure vessel from the feed end of the NF membrane. Through the penetration of the membrane surface, impurities such as suspended solids, colloids, bacteria, viruses, pigments, hardness, and high valent ions are separated from the feed water. The permeate then enters the center tube in the middle of NF membrane elements. Meanwhile, the retained concentrate flows out through the concentrate tube at the end of the pressure vessel and then enters the next pressure vessel for further permeation, partial recycling, or treatment as wastewater.

Combine membraneand feed water carriertogether to form afeed water channel toensure the water flowevenly to all cornersof the membranesurface Effectivelyremoveinorganic saltsin the water It can avoidmembraneadhesionand maintaina smoothpermeatechannel evenunder a higherpressure. Brine sealing ring canonly be installed on theinlet port to prevent theconcentrate backflow. It reduces the feedresistance andmakes the fluidevenly distributed. Meanwhile, itspressure resistantcapacity is alsoimproved by 50%; End cap hot meltrotary welding processfurther improves thedifferential pressureresistant capacity ofthe integrated ROmembranes.

Notes

  • Permeate flow for individual elements may vary ±15% from the value specified.
  • Active membrane area range guarantees ±4%.
  • Stabilized salt rejection is generally achieved within 24–48 hours of continuous use, depending upon feed water characteristics and operating conditions.
