MULTIFUNCTIONAL ELECTROCHEMICAL CERAMIC MEMBRANE FILTRATION SYSTEM

MULTIFUNCTIONAL ELECTROCHEMICAL CERAMIC MEMBRANE FILTRATION SYSTEM

Technical Brief

Multifunctional electrochemical ceramic membrane filtration system (REM filtration system) provides a new direction for the disinfection and purification of water. It combines the anodic electrochemical oxidation of the water treatment with the ceramic membrane filtration, so it has good applicability and compatibility. You can omit the traditional process of physical filtration and chemical disinfection process, such as coagulation, flocculation, precipitation, ultraviolet disinfection, etc.

Technical advantages

Compared with other membrane filtration process, REM filter system advantages:

Improve the efficiency of pollutant removal and degradation

The REM filtration system combines electrode oxidation and filtration to effectively remove inorganic contaminants such as ammonia, sulfide, and organic contaminants (such as trace sterile residues, natural organic matter, microorganisms, pathogens, etc.)

Reduce membrane contamination hazards

REM filtration system is different from the polymer membrane because it does not require frequent backwash and maintenance. This feature can reduce system downtime and reduce the amount of anti-wash drugs.

Since REM made of ceramic material has excellent stability and can last at least 10-20 years with no aging or corrosion,  the membrane replacement frequency will be very low.

Increase the effluent flux

The use of REM for microfiltration or ultrafiltration can be a higher water flux

Keep trace elements such as calcium and magnesium ions in water

The traditional RO reverse osmosis membrane removes all suspended or dissolved particles and salt ions in the water. Although the water quality is guaranteed, but caused by the operation of energy, effluent acidic water and beneficial calcium and magnesium for the human body and other trace elements are removed. REM filtering does not cause these problems.

Reduce energy consumption

The use of REM for microfiltration or ultrafiltration of the pump pressure requirements and power consumption are not large

Fundamental

REM filter system is the main unit of work is active, conductive, porous ceramic film, in the DC can occur under the electrochemical reaction. After special treatment, REM both as the electrode as a filter, making the process of filtering through the current. In the REM film surface will produce reactive groups and oxidation groups, and thus with the pollutants and microbial cells and oxidation of the reaction.
The surface of the electrochemical ceramic film can be obtained by direct current polarization of 50 A ∙ m-2 to 250 A ∙ m-2, or about 1 to 10 V. (With photos)
