KAHO Tubular MF Membrane Overview

KAHO Tubular Microfiltration Membrane is designed for industrial wastewater treatment and liquid separation. Using a tubular flow path and inside-out cross-flow filtration, the membrane supports effective suspended-particle removal and provides a reliable pretreatment option for demanding water treatment processes.


KAHO supplies tubular microfiltration membrane solutions including the KH72MO113 membrane module for industrial wastewater applications. Configuration can be matched to specific treatment requirements and existing process conditions.

Membrane Structure and Design

UHMWPE Support Tube

The ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene filter tube forms the membrane skeleton, providing structural support for the filtration layer and helping the tubular membrane maintain reliable mechanical integrity during industrial operation.

PVDF Surface Layer

A PVDF coating is applied to the surface of the PE support tube to create the functional filtration layer responsible for separating suspended particles from the process liquid.

Open Tubular Flow Channel

The tubular configuration provides an open internal flow path that allows particle-containing liquid to circulate through the membrane channel while reducing the risk of solids accumulating inside narrow passages.

Industrial Wastewater Treatment

KAHO Tubular Microfiltration Membrane can be integrated into industrial wastewater treatment processes for separating suspended particles and other retained contaminants from process water. It is suitable for applications including electronics, electroplating, and aluminum-profile wastewater treatment. Its tubular cross-flow configuration provides an effective filtration stage where solids separation, water clarification, and downstream treatment preparation are required.

Electronics and Electroplating Wastewater

Electronics and electroplating wastewater can contain suspended matter and contaminants that require effective solid-liquid separation before subsequent treatment or reuse. KAHO tubular microfiltration membrane systems are used in these industrial applications. In one KAHO electroplating wastewater project, the overall membrane system recorded an 85% COD removal rate and a heavy-metal-ion removal rate exceeding 99%, with the treated water meeting the project's discharge and reuse requirements.

RO Pretreatment and Water Reuse

Tubular microfiltration can serve as a pretreatment stage before reverse osmosis by removing suspended particles from industrial wastewater before the water enters downstream membrane processes. By improving solid-liquid separation ahead of RO, KAHO tubular microfiltration membranes can be incorporated into industrial water-reuse systems designed to recover treated wastewater and support more efficient use of water resources.

Key Filtration Advantages

High Solids Handling

The open tubular passage accommodates wastewater containing suspended solids and particulate matter, making the membrane suitable for solid-liquid separation in challenging industrial feed streams.

Fouling Resistance

Cross-flow circulation continuously moves liquid along the membrane surface, helping limit particle deposition and filter-cake accumulation that can otherwise restrict effective membrane filtration.

Stable Industrial Filtration

The tubular structure supports continuous circulation and separation, helping maintain dependable filtration performance when treating industrial liquids with changing levels of suspended contaminants.

Easy Cleaning and Maintenance

The cross-flow membrane configuration is designed for practical system cleaning and routine maintenance, helping operators manage membrane contamination and restore filtration conditions during industrial wastewater treatment.

FAQs

What is a tubular microfiltration membrane?
A tubular microfiltration membrane is a membrane filtration element with an internal tubular flow channel. Feed liquid circulates through the tube while the membrane separates suspended particles and retained contaminants from permeable liquid through a pressure-driven filtration process.
How does tubular microfiltration work?
Tubular microfiltration typically operates in cross-flow mode. Feed liquid moves tangentially along the inner membrane surface while pressure drives permeate through the membrane wall. Retained solids remain in the circulating concentrate instead of passing into the permeate stream.
Why use tubular membranes for industrial wastewater?
Tubular membranes provide an open flow path that is suitable for wastewater containing suspended solids and particles. Cross-flow circulation also helps reduce contaminant accumulation on the membrane surface, making the configuration practical for demanding industrial solid-liquid separation applications.
Can tubular MF membranes pretreat RO systems?
Yes. KAHO tubular microfiltration membranes can be used before reverse osmosis to remove suspended particles from industrial wastewater. This provides an additional solid-liquid separation step before water enters downstream RO treatment and water-reuse processes.
How do I select a tubular MF membrane?
Selection should consider the feed liquid, industry, suspended-solids condition, required treatment capacity, separation objective, cleaning requirements, and existing process configuration. Share your operating conditions with KAHO so we can evaluate a suitable tubular microfiltration membrane solution.
