Tubular Micro Filtration (TMF)
What is TMF
•
Microfiltration (MF) is a low pressure
(0.7 – 7 bar, 10-100 psig) separation
process for separation of solids from
aqueous solutions by means of a
membrane.
•
This “crossflow” process is carried out
by having a process solution flow
along a membrane surface under
pressure.
•
Retained particulate matter leaves
with the flowing process stream and
does not accumulate on the
membrane surface

Microfiltration System/Processes
•
The Porex TMF Membrane modules contain
20 year old applications combined with cutting
edge innovation and materials
•
The strongest, most durable and chemically
cleanable membrane product available today
•
All PVDF construction can replace many
ceramic membrane products
•
Extremely Chemical and abrasion resistant
•
Tight membrane pore size control provides
outstanding filtrate quality, SDI (typically less
than 1.0 NTU)
•
Large diameter allows very high solids loading
without pretreatment restraints
•
More forgiving than hollow fiber

Backpluse
• Often PLC controlled
• Typically engaged every 5 – 30
minutes (20 is standard).
• Used to prevent excessive
solids accumulation on
membrane surface
• Filtrate is forced back through
membranes using air pressure
• Air must not be allowed to
reach membranes
