novoflow CPH (Compact Potted Hollow Fibre Filter):

These modules are made of PVDF-hollow fibers with membranes of identical separating properties in- and outside of the fibers mounted in vessel of synthetic material. The hollow fibers are potted and sealed by a smooth process developed by novoflow. Potting materials applied are optimally adapted to feed and cleaning chemicals as well as operating temperatures.

Optimal Applications:

• Separation of low concentrated particles, colloids, micro organisms, viruses and macro molecules from industrial process waters and waste waters.

• Police filter

Advantages and Special Properties:

• Outstanding mechanical resistanc
• Chemical resistance (3.600.000 ppmh vs. free chlorine, 1000 ppmh vs. H2O2 )

• Double protection, long operating life and reduced cleaning requirements due to active membrane layers in and outside the hollow fibers.

• Low maintenance by secure sealing between raw and clean water phase due to potting of the fiber socket into the synthetic module tube. No O-rings or wearing seals are used.
• Large pressure range (including pre-pressures) up to 4 bars can be utilized for filtration.

• No chemically contaminated flushing waters are produced during operation.

• Space-saving modular design (2,1 m x 0,16 m modules); no additional headroom is needed due to radial assembly and disassembly

• Vertical positioning for optimal air cleaning

• Light modues (30 kg) can be mounted manually

Mode of Operation:

• Filtration is performed from the outside to the inside of the membrane fibers.

• Filtration phase: is fully automatic, quasi-continuous with cyclical back flushing.

• Air cleaning phase: Membranes are exposed in timing cycles to air cleaning. Contaminations collected after air cleaning and a flush of water are discharged via lateral openings.

• Chemical cleaning: After extended operating periods, a chemical cleaning step is needed to restore original filtration performance.
