TUBULAR MEMBRANE ELEMENT

Tubular membrane modules are tube-like structures with porous walls. Tubular modules work through tangential crossflow and are generally used to process difficult feed streams such as those with high TDS, high suspended solids, and/or oil, grease, or fats.

How it works?

Tubular modules consist of inner tube, called the membrane tube, and the outer vessel or housing, which is the shell. The feed stream goes across the length of the membrane tube and is filtered out into the outer shell while concentrate collects at the opposite end of the membrane tube. They are commonly used for applications such as oily wastewater treatment, MBR, Landfill leachate pretreatment and other high solids processes.
