These Filters Compactly Provide Large Membrane Surface Areas…

| By Chemical Engineering

The ongoing scaleup of numerous microfiltration plants has increased demand for filtration modules with large membrane surface areas — a demand adequately met by the new Microdyn and Seprodyn tubular modules, MD220 TP 2L (photo) and SE220 TP 1L. While touting microfiltration membranes with surface areas of 16 m², the modules offer a compact design that promises to reduce piping expenses among other process designs. Further, the membranes are built on polypropylene and polyethylene without the use of glue or potting material, making them ideally suited for withstanding exposure to extreme acids or other leaching agents. — Microdyn-Nadir GmbH, Wiesbaden, Germany
