Pictured is a duplex ceramic membrane system designed by FTI. For pilot plant and small production.

System operates in single or parallel mode, and can evaluate up to 2 membranes of different pore sizes at one time. .

This system can be used for microfiltration, ultrafiltration, and nanofiltration.

While ceramic membranes have similar performance characteristics to polymer, ceramics have specific advantages and disadvantages over polymer membranes.
Advantages

1. Ceramics can handle temperatures up to 300 degrees
2. Ceramics can be regernerated up to 10 years or more with proper care.
3. In addition to ultrafiltration & nanofilration ranges, ceramics are also available in microfiltration (1.4m, 0.8m, 0.45m, 0.2m, 0.1m)
4. Ceramics have the widest chemical compatibility. Only limitations are with the Stainless Steel housing and Gaskets.
5. They outperform hollowfiber membrane modules (in testing which FTI has been apart of). Tami membranes can concentrate to higher percentage then hollowfiber, and typically have better flux rates.

Disadvantages

1. Ceramic cost is about 4 to 10 times the cost of polymer membranes on similar square foot size.

Filter Technologies is a OEM systems manufacturer for TAMI ceramic membrane systems. From the lab - to pilot - to production, TAMI ceramic membranes offer significant advantages over polymer based systems.

Industrial Filtration & Separation Products

Please contact Filter Technoloigies to discuss your application.

We have filter housings for lab and pilot plant evaluations.

In addition to being compatible for all polymer spirals andn hollowfiber applications, ceramic membranes are ideal for:

• All Types of Chemical Purification, even at High Temperatures
• Chemical Reclaim - Solids Concentration to 90% +
• Cell removal /washing
• Solvent reclaim

Our bench top ceramic membrane system provides for a convenient method of membrane evaluation for your process.

Available in wide range of MWCO's and Micofiltration pore sizes, the bench system operates at about 3 gpm crossflow.

As with our polymer system lab system, the ceramic sanitary housing, with vertical installation, has full drainage capability for more product recovery.
