2 Structural Membrane Media for Optimal Performance POREX Tubular Membrane Filter (TMF) Modules TM contain the unique, patent-pending, structural membrane tubes. The superior strength of the membrane/substrate composite allows higher operating and backwash pressures for higher flux and reduced system footprint. The structural composite membrane features PVDF membrane bonded to PVDF substrate or anchored to PE substrate. Performance Attributes High Flux Long Service Life Backwashable Multiple Pore Sizes PVDF or PE Substrate Available Proven Tubular Module Configuration Excellent Chemical and Thermal Resistance Minimal Construction Materials Why Choose POREX Tubular Membrane Modules? POREX Filtration Modules provide consistent, reliable solid/liquid separations and long service life Sintered PE substrate with PVDF membrane offers high-performance tubular membrane with superior operating characteristics Sintered PVDF substrate with PVDF membrane offers high temperature and improved chemical compatibility (ph range of 0 14 standard units) PVDF/PVDF composite option offers increased abrasion resistance Three distinct membrane pore sizes available on two different substrate options Uniform, thermally-bonded omni-directional substrate pore structure provides an optimized support structure for tubular membranes Two internal tube diameters available to suit your application s flux and solids level requirements (up to 5% by weight) Material Technology Each POREX Tubular Membrane Filter Module contains multiple tubular membranes. These structural membrane tubes are made from a PE or PVDF sintered porous substrate that creates an intricate network of open-celled, omni-directional pores. These substrate pores are then filled with membrane which gives our tubes a unique combination of filtering capability and structural strength. The microphotograph illustrates the uniform structure of the substrate tube.

3 Chemical Resistance POREX Porous Plastics are made from commercially-available thermoplastics that are resistant to a broad spectrum of corrosive chemicals and reagents. The customer should perform appropriate tests to determine the performance of POREX Porous Plastics under each specific operating condition. POREX Tubular Membrane Filter Modules are designed to retrofit existing tubular membrane systems and replace the existing modules. In operation, a fluid, such as chemically pre-treated wastewater, flows through the tubular modules at high velocity, sufficient to maintain turbulent flow. At typical operating pressures of psi, clean fluid is forced through the pores of the membrane, while suspended particulates remain in the retentate stream The turbulent flow of the retentate stream prevents the build-up of particles on the inner surface of the tube, providing high flux and prolonged filter life. This turbulent crossflow performance and large bore tubular design may eliminate the need for prefiltration and should routinely handle high solids levels up to 5% by weight.
