MMS - Microfiltration (MF) Unit
Microfiltration (MF) involves using membranes with pore sizes between 0.05 to 2 micrometers for the fractionation and clarification of larger compounds. The design of an MMS Microfiltration unit is highly tailored to its final application and can utilize various MF module types such as ceramic, hollow fiber, and spiral wound elements. The optimal module selection is determined by factors like viscosity, pH, operating temperature, feed volume, and fractionation requirements. MMS does not prefer a specific module type or supplier, but rather employs a rigorous screening process to identify the best module for your process. Typical applications of MF include sterilization and biological stabilization, purification, and concentration and enrichment.
Microfiltration (MF) generally refers to the application of membranes with pore size range between 0.05 – 2 um and allows for the fractionation and clarification of larger compounds.
The MMS Microfiltration unit design is highly specific to the final application. Several MF module types are possible, such as ceramic, hollow fibre and spiral wound elements.
The correct choice of module is a function of numerous factors such as, viscosity, pH, operating temperature, feed volume to treat, fractionation requirements, etc. MMS do not favour a specific module type or supplier, through our screening process we select the module which best suits your process.
