Ceramic Element Filtration Over View

1.0 Introduction
Ceramic-based filtration is a state-of-the-art filtration technology that came about as an outgrowth of research in the nuclear power industry. While it has been well established that microfiltration and ultrafiltration are highly effective at removing particles to the sub-micron level, previous technologies have been limited by the chemical and temperature environments in which they can operate. Ceramic filters, however, are extremely robust. With cost-effective production methods for fabricating ceramic elements now well developed, the technology is economically competitive. Their specific advantages, especially over traditional spiral wound polymeric membranes, include:

At the heart of SEPARADYNE's ceramic element filtration systems are the ceramic elements. These elements are fabricated using an aluminum oxide matrix. Additional membrane layers of aluminum oxide and/or zirconium oxide about 40 – 45 microns thick, whose porosity can be accurately engineered by choice of the fabrication methodology, are coated onto the base ceramic matrix to provide filtration to the desired particle size. Porosities to 0.01 µm (microns) [10 nm] are now available, providing the ability to remove all but the smallest organic molecules or soluble ions.
Ceramic Element Filtration is ideally suited for treatment for discharge or recycling from a wide range of industries, including laundry and textile finishing plants, concrete processing facilities, metal finishing plants, car washes, automotive processing industries, poultry and egg processing plants, and other food processing. It is also an excellent pretreatment for nanofiltration or reverse osmosis.
