Hollow fiber filter modules are manufactured by encapsulating hollow fibers within a housing. The housing has end caps, each including two ports, totaling one feed port, one retentate port, and two permeate ports. Ports utilize different types and sizes of adaptors and fittings. The hollow fiber length is consistent with the housing, running from the feed port to the retentate port. During use, the feed liquid is pumped from the feed port under the pressure of the pump. Most of the feed liquid flows through the hollow fiber and exits from the retentate port. Another part of the feed liquid passes through the hollow fiber wall, enters the housing, and then exits from the permeate port.

Filter Component Materials

Hollow Fiber Design
The membrane used to manufacture mPES hollow fibers is seamless and structurally heterogeneous.
The dense skin layer of the mPES membrane reduces the possibility of contamination, while the relatively open outer support structure increases the filtration rate.

Standard Water Flux
Standard water flux (NWP) is the water flow rate (LMH) divided by TMP. NWP can be calculated by dividing the actual measured LMH
by TMP. The minimum NWP requirements for different MWCO mPES filters are shown in the table below.
