Ceramic membrane is a porous fine ceramic filter which is sintered from Alumina, Titania or Zirconia under ultra high temperature. Ceramic membrane normally has an asymmetrical structure with porous support active membrane layer. The macro porous support ensures the mechanical resistance while the active layer functions separation ranging from Microfiltration, Ultrafilatration and even Nanofiltration (from 10μm down to 1KD). Ceramic Membrane always runs at a CROSS FLOW FILTRATION mode. The turbid fluid goes through membrane layer inside the single channel or a multichannel at a high velocity. Driven by TransMembrane Pressure(TMP), the clean liquid with micro-molecule pass through the membrane layer vertically to permeation, the solid and big molecule is rejected in retentate. The feed fluid is thus clarified, concentrated and purified. Compared with normal traditional filtrs like Filter Press, Centrifuge and DE Filter, Ceramic Membrane Filters has many unique advantages:

Excellent resistance to acid/alkaline and oxidation chemicals
Solvent stability
High thermal stability
Fine separability with narrow pore size distribution
Excellent mechanical and abrasive resistance
Extremely long work life compared with polymeric membrane
Easy to be cleaned and sanitized with backflush
