Membrane Selection
To better match the requirements of different applications and various sewage treatment processes, there are different membrane material options.
EPDM membranes: excellent physical characteristics means reduce membrane shrinkage and age-related stiffening. EPDM membrane is widely used in municipal sewage treatment.
PU membranes: extremely long lifetime and no curing thanks to the free of plasticizer membrane. Unbeatable tear-resistant and abrasion-resistant (mechanical strength around 2.5-4 times that of most of the EPDM and silicone materials) enable it to use in heavily polluted wastewater or in complex working conditions. Also the high mechanical strength makes it the best membrane option for MBBR process. With characteriscs of good resistance to oil, gasoline and chemicals, PU membrane can be widely used in different type of industrial wastewater.
