Why Choose POREX® Tubular Membrane Module

  • 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)


Typical Module Efficiency:

Module flux may vary by application and solids concentration. Performance in specific fluids need to be individually verified. Typical performance of a 6 ft, 10 tube module, with 0.1 micron nominal PVDF membrane on PE substrate processing a FeCl3 / NaOH wastewater stream with NTU >500. Permeate quality delivered was <0.5 NTU.





Typical Applications:

  • Heavy metal removal in metal finishing fluids
  • Pre-reverse osmosis filters for water treatment
  • High solids removal in electroplating solution baths
  • High solids removal from completion fluids
  • Food and beverage processing
  • Cutting fluids recycling in silica grinding and slicing
  • Heavy metal removal from incinerator scrubber water
  • Cooling tower blow-down recycling and/or side stream filtration
  • Brine recycling in water treatment systems
  • Wastewater processing from the chemical,
    micro-electronics and pulp and paper industries
