Toray Membrane 4040: High-Performance Ultrafiltration Membrane for Demanding Applications

Toray Membrane 4040 is a high-performance ultrafiltration (UF) membrane renowned for its exceptional flux, excellent rejection rates, and robust durability. Specifically designed for demanding applications requiring superior performance and extended operational life, this membrane utilizes Toray's advanced hollow fiber technology to deliver consistent and reliable results.

Key Features & Benefits:

• High Flux: Experience significantly improved permeate flow rates compared to other UF membranes, leading to increased productivity and reduced operational costs. This high flux is maintained consistently throughout the membrane's operational lifespan, minimizing downtime and maximizing return on investment.
• Superior Rejection Rates: Effectively removes a wide range of contaminants, including:
  • Suspended Solids: Excellent removal of particles, turbidity, and other suspended matter.
  • Bacteria & Viruses: Provides a significant barrier against microbial contamination, ensuring high-quality treated water. (Note: While effective, it's not a complete sterilization method and should be considered in conjunction with other treatment processes where complete sterility is required).
  • Colloids & Macromolecules: Removes a significant portion of colloids and larger macromolecules, depending on specific application and operating conditions. Specific rejection rates for various contaminants will vary and should be verified through independent testing for your particular application.
• Enhanced Chemical Resistance: Demonstrates superior resistance to a broad range of chemicals commonly found in industrial and municipal water treatment processes. This extended chemical resistance prolongs membrane life and reduces the frequency of replacement. Specific chemical compatibility should be verified based on your unique application's chemical composition.
• Robust Construction: Constructed with high-quality materials and advanced manufacturing techniques, ensuring superior mechanical strength and resistance to fouling. This leads to reduced membrane cleaning frequency and extended operational lifetime.
• Easy Cleaning & Maintenance: The membrane's hydrophilic surface minimizes fouling and simplifies cleaning procedures. This can significantly reduce downtime and maintenance costs.
