Innovative Membrane Technology
A3’s unique module design offers one of the most compact and efficient plate membrane modules on the market. Our plate ultrafiltration modules use flat sheet membranes arranged in parallel. Multiple flat sheet membranes are imbedded into a grouting material with a fixed distance of 7 mm (1/4”). The other two sides of the membrane module are PVC plates. The individual flat sheet membranes have a porous supporting structure that is covered with a protecting fleece and a PES (Polyether Sulfone) membrane (< 0.1 μm) on both sides. The treated permeate is collected inside the supporting structure and drawn to an attached permeate pipe and finally discharged.
Membrane modules are manufactured in four discrete sizes:
  • 52 ft2 (U05-002)
  • 72 ft2 (U06-001)
  • 241 ft2 (U20-002)
  • 754 ft2 (U70-002)
The largest module (U70), illustrated below, is the most common module used for medium and large MBR plants. Customized modules may be provided depending on order size and customer preference.
Membrane modules are installed as single, double, or triple stack arrangements on top of aeration modules. Guide rail systems inside the membrane basin allow for easy installation and maintenance. Membrane modules can also be combined in multi-modules. The aeration unit is integrated in the module frame where a maximum of ten U70 membrane modules per stack can be installed. This arrangement minimizes the installation time, space requirements, and offers a central air and permeate connection.
