Membrane Systems

When making a choice between different kinds of membrane systems, there are a few factors that are to be considered. Some of these are costs, risks of plugging of the membranes, packing density and cleaning opportunities. Membranes are never applied as one flat plate, because this large surface often results in high investing costs. That is why systems are built densely to enable a large membrane surface to be put in the smallest possible volume.

Membranes are implemented in many types of modules. The two major types of membranes are the tubular membrane system and the plate & frame membrane system. Tubular membrane systems are further divided up in tubular, capillary and hollow fiber membranes. On the other hand, Plate & frame membranes are further divided up in spiral membranes and pillow-shaped membranes.
