Pall Aria(TM) FB membrane filtration systems offer low chemical consumption through efficient mechanical backwash, low energy consumption (typically 0.09 kWh per m3 filtered water or 0.35.103 kWh per gal) and minimal water losses (up to 98 percent water recovery) due to dead-end filtration. Constructed of food-contact grade materials, high microbiological safety is achieved with SS hygienic design and automatic disinfection when the system stays out of operation for more than 24 hours. Features include robust PVDF hollow fibers, capable of high flux rates within a compact system footprint. Fully automated, simple and easy to operate, typical operating costs are 0.0225 to 0.045 US cents per gallon (0.05 to 0.1 Euro/m3). http://[email protected]
