ExtreMem, Inc.'s composite ceramic filter can be used in below module types​

Cross-Flow Filtration

Cross-Flow Filtration: Different from traditional dead-end filtration, the solid is being trapped outside the filter and the filtrate is being released at the other end. The principal advantage of this is that the filter cake (which can blind the filter) is substantially washed away during the filtration process, increasing the length of time that a filter unit can be operational. It can be a continuous process, unlike batch-wise dead-end filtration. In general, cross-flow filtration is a suitable method in application with solid content above 0.5%.

Dead-End Filtration​

Dead-End Filtration: The flow of water is perpendicular to the membrane surface, and the filtrate is pushed through the membrane by pressure. In dead-end filtration, the retained particles build up with time on the membrane surface, and the building particle would result the increase of layer thickness and cause the flux to decline. With ExtreMem, Inc.'s module, the filters can be cleaned using hydraulic backwash, regenerating flux to its original state. In general, dead-end filtration is a suitable method in application with solid content below 0.1%.
