novoflow - Rotating Filter System

Optimal Applications

• Modular design
• High concentration
• High solid concentration
• Viscous media
• Continuous concentration of recyclables
• Demulsification
• Diafiltration

Advantages and special properties

• Energy savings of up to 80 % vs. traditional cross-flow modules
• Compact and flexible modular design, easy scalability, inspection and maintenance friendly
• Highly efficient overflow and cover layer prevention due to a special combination of centrifugal (rotation) and shear (turbulence created by baffles) forces
• High rotation speeds up to more than 500 rpm at disc diameters of 312 – 500 mm

Operation mode

• A membrane stack, mounted on and rotated by a hollow shaft, inside a pressure vessel (called module)
• Filtration is performed from outside to inside through the membrane layer coating on the filter discs; the filtrate/permeate is collected inside the filter discs and discharged via hollow shaft
• Fixed baffles inside the pressure vessel generate turbulences
• Modular design: Easy up-scale and down-scale
• Automatic back-flushing
• Dynamic Cross-Flow-Filtration
• CIP-compatible
