The MicroPES™ Reinforced Flat Sheet Membrane provides proven throughput and excels in applications requiring secure bacteria retention. Manufactured from polyethersulfone, the membrane offers a broad chemical resistance (pH 2-12) and remains spontaneously wettable over extended periods and does not require wetting agents after drying or chemical cleaning, supporting reliable long‐term operation. Especially in wastewater filtration applications, the MicroPES™ Reinforced Flat Sheet Membrane delivers high performance by positioning the retention layer near the upstream side, which facilitates effective cleaning of the filter cake from the membrane surface.
- The lamination of the membrane increases the mechanical stability and thus enables operation under challenging mechanical conditions
- The MicroPES™ Laminated Flat Sheet Membrane can be manufactured into filter plates by using common welding technologies in which the nonwoven side is welded to the frame
- The MicroPES™ Laminated Flat Sheet Membrane can withstand chemically enhanced cleaning procedures with the following common chemicals: hydrochloric acid, citric acid, acetic acid, sodium hydroxide, or sodium hypochlorite (pH 2 to pH 12) without affecting the characteristics and the mechanical stability of the membrane
- High mechanical strength offers good processability
