Ceramic Filter Discs
Function
- Multiple ceramic filter discs are stacked in a module.
- During operation, these stacks rotate to control the cake layer formed during filtration.
- The feed through the membrane is divided into two streams: the permeate/filtrate and the concentrate.
- Particles larger than the membrane pores are retained and concentrated in the concentrate.
- Particles smaller than the membrane pores flow through the porous structure (support) and are collected and discharged in a hollow shaft.
Ceramic Filter Discs
- Rotating filtration discs, or dynamic cross-flow filters, are disc-shaped elements with an externally coated ceramic membrane.
- Available in various sizes and variations (geometries)
- The functional layer (membrane) is attached to the outside, allowing the filtration direction to proceed from the outside to the inside, known as 'outside-in'.
