Silicon Carbide Filtration
H2O Silicon Carbide (SiC) ceramic filtration membranes offer longer life, corrosion and erosion resistance and the highest flux of any membranes on the market.
H2O SiC remove total suspended solids, hydrocarbons (oil) and bacteria, offering the highest flux of any membrane materials.
H2O's advanced SiC membranes are chemically robust, and abrasion and erosion resistant. The membranes can operate in high temperature conditions and exhibit minimal fouling. SiC membranes can be cleaned in place to maintain consistent flux. This results in consistent output, reduced maintenance, and lower equipment and labor costs.
H2O SiC membranes are available in a range of pore sized (ultrafiltration & microfiltration) and configurations: large monolith for optimized dead-end filtration, and tubular geometries optimized for cross-flow filtration.
