Tubular membrane

A Tubular membrane consists of a hollow polymeric tube where the feed travels through the tube and the permeate flows to the outer surface for collection. These membranes will handle large amounts of suspended solids and fibrous material.

Functional features include:

• handles solids and fibrous material
• can be mechanically cleaned
• less compact design
• low amount of area per element
• medium capital and energy cost
• higher replacement cost
• accepts higher permeate pressure
• medium term life expectancy
