Advantages

• Robust Properties

- Effective against several kinds of industrial wastewater containing solvent, oil and/or other chemicals.
- Suitable for separation of hard solid from water.
- Can simplify pre-treatment system for preventing damage to membrane.

• High Reliability and Long Life Span

- No breakage of membrane.
- High resistance to chemical damage and thermal degradation.

• Small Footprint

- Higher flux results in smaller footprint compare to that of flat-sheet type polymer membrane.

• Energy Saving

- Sheet-form arrangement and air-dispersal method facilitate more effective air-scrubbings.
- Ceramic membrane bioreactor requires low amount of scrubbing air thereby reducing energy consumption.

• Easy Maintenance and Green Technology

- Automatic back wash and on-line cleaning remove the need for daily maintenance.
- Membrane surface can easily be cleaned by high-pressure water jet.
- After end-of-life, ceramic membrane can be recycled into other kinds of ceramic product.
