Xiga modules are based on hydrophilic hollow-fiber ultrafiltration membranes, composed of a PES/PVP blend. The membranes are operated in a dead-end mode and their high mechanical and chemical strength makes them suitable for a wide range of applications. The pressurized membrane modules with inside-out configuration are the industry’s choice for the removal of bacteria, viruses, suspended solids, and colloids.
FEATURES
