SUMITOMO- Poreflon PTFE – Submerge MBR Membrane

PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) – Submerged MBR (Membrane Bioreactor) membranes are a specific type of membrane configuration used in wastewater treatment processes. PTFE is a synthetic fluoropolymer known for its excellent chemical resistance and low friction properties. Here’s an introduction to PTFE – Submerged MBR membranes, along with their working principles and advantages:

PTFE – Submerged MBR membranes consist of membranes made from PTFE material. PTFE is widely used in various industries due to its exceptional chemical resistance, high temperature tolerance, and low fouling characteristics. In the context of MBR systems, PTFE membranes are submerged in the wastewater for the separation of solids, microorganisms, and contaminants.

In a PTFE – Submerged MBR system, the membranes made from PTFE material are fully immersed in the wastewater. The wastewater is pumped or circulated over the membrane surfaces, creating a submerged filtration process. The membranes act as a selective barrier, allowing treated water or permeate to pass through while retaining suspended solids, bacteria, and other contaminants. The permeate is collected and further treated or discharged, while the retained solids and contaminants are periodically removed through backwashing or chemical cleaning to maintain the performance and permeability of the membranes.
