Membrane separates liquids under extreme conditions.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet Industrial Newsroom) — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 08:34:04 -0400

InoCep combines simplicity and compactness of polymeric hollow fiber membranes with hardiness of ceramics. While hollow fiber configuration can filter from inside-out and outside-in, crossflow configuration also reduces fouling. Exploitation of Al2O3 characteristics makes this hollow fiber ceramic membrane capable of sustained filtration in temperatures up to 120°C and compatible with full range of pH values (0-14).
