Advantages of TAMI membrane
Range of filtration:
The available cut-offs of TAMI membranes cover the largest filtration range among all the ceramic membrane manufacturers (from microfiltration to fine ultrafiltration).
Membrane shapes:
TAMI non-circular channels (under patent) permit to increase the filtration surface compared to a circular channel membrane with similar hydraulic diameter. Different geometrical shapes are available to satisfy client expectations.
Membrane composition:
TAMI membrane supports are all made of pure TiO2. This high quality material gives the following advantages:
- Pressure burst point > 90 Bars
- Average pore diameter 4.5μm
- Operational temperature <250o C
- Chemical stability:
- acid and basic solution do not have influence on the support (including concentrated hydrofluoric and phosphoric acids)
- resistant to solvents
- pH: 0-14
- TAMI membrane composition material does not endanger human health unlike membranes made of other material such as alumina.
TAMI membrane active layers are made of TiO2 and/or ZrO2 depending on the filtration range. These materials give the following advantages:
- Operational temperature < 250o C
- Chemical stability:
- Resistant to acid and basic solution except concentrated hydrofluoric and phosphoric acids.
- Resistant to solvents
- pH range: 0-14 (MF/UF) 2-14 (fine UF)
- Autoclave sterilization (121°C/30mn)
