General Flow sheet

The filtration principle is submerged outside in, where clean water is drawn through the membrane with suction pressure. Suspended solids & bacteria are rejected on the membrane surface forming a cake layer while clean water is passing through the membrane body and is collected at both end caps.

This makes it ideal in a wide range of applications. Since it allows the user to combine several process steps into one:
