Silicon Carbide Ceramic (SIC) Flat Sheet Membrane & Modules for Drinking Water - Water and Wastewater - Drinking Water
Cembrane is the worlds largest producer of Silicon Carbide (SiC) membranes for OEMs & System integrators within water & wastewater treatment.
Cembrane’s SiC ceramic membrane modules enable a durable, reliable & cost-effective treatment with removal of heavy metals, TSS & turbidity, organics, silt, bacteria, dissolved organics & algae whether for RO pre-treatment or direct drinking water consumption.
Operational Features & Benefits
- Flux rate upwards of 10x organic membranes
- Low footprint
- High recovery (close to 100% mass balance)
- High solids loading tolerance
- No need for pre-filtration
The filtration principle is submerged outside in, where clean water is drawn through the membrane with suction pressure. Suspended solids & bacteria are rejected on the membrane surface forming a cake layer while clean water is passing through the membrane body and is collected at both end caps.
This makes it ideal in a wide range of applications. Since it allows the user to combine several process steps into one:
- Filtration
- Sedimentation
- Flotation
- Absorption
- Sandfilter upgrades
- Brackish & sweet groundwater
- Sea Water pre-RO
- Surface water
- Backwash water recovery from UF & Sandfilters
