Technology
Cross-flow membrane filtration technology is quickly gaining global acceptance as an important manufacturing step in many of the process lines in the food, dairy, pharmaceutical/biotechnology and starch and sweetener industries worldwide. The ability to produce very specific separations at low or ambient temperatures with no phase change can, in many applications, make membrane filtration a much more cost-effective solution than more conventional methods such as rotary vacuum filtration or filter presses.
Membrane filtration is a pressure driven technology with pore sizes ranging from 100 molecular weight to 5 microns. The technologies included in membrane filtration are: Reverse Osmosis RO, Nanofiltration NF, Ultrafiltration UF, and Microfiltration MF.

Membranes
GEA Filtration offers a wide range of systems and membrane types to allow each and every process to completely optimize their specific separation. The range includes a number of both polymeric and inorganic membranes:
Polymeric
Spiral - Due to their compact layout and relatively large amount of membrane area per element, spirals are good cost-effective solutions to high volume applications with minimal or no suspended solids, with the primary advantage being both low capital investment and energy costs. They are available for all types of filtration from microfiltration to reverse osmosis.Tubular - Highly resistant to plugging, tubular membranes are typically used when the feed stream contains large amounts of suspended solids or fibrous compounds.Hollow Fiber Membrane - Extremely high packing density and open channel design; offers the possibility of backwashing from the permeate side, particularly suited for low solids liquid streams.
Inorganic
Ceramic - Ideally used for value added or sanitary applications such as milk or fermentation broths as well as products requiring selective separations from fluid streams with extremes in pH, temperature or solvents.Stainless Steel - Rugged design, especially effective for demanding applications with aggressive process conditions or feed streams with elevated particulate solids or viscosity.
