The "Ceramic Cross-Flow System" uses ceramic membranes to concentrate and reduce the volume of wastewater generated from the polishing process of electronics products. The ceramic membrane is made of a durable material, allowing for long-term use and easy maintenance. It has a wide range of applicable chemicals for cleaning and regeneration, ensuring a variety of regeneration methods. Additionally, backwashing with pulse operation prevents clogging and maintains stable operation. By utilizing this excellent separation performance and longevity of ceramic cross-flow technology, it enables the recovery of polishing materials and the recycling of water, contributing to significant cost reduction. 【Features】 ■ Durable material ■ Wide chemical resistance, including strong acids and strong alkalis ■ High-pressure backwashing (pulse) cleaning capability *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
