About hollow fiber membrane
The hollow fiber membrane is hollow like a straws.
Diameter is a few hundreds microns and thickness is a few tens microns.
The hollow fiber membrane is used in a lot of fields like water purifiers, the dialysis
treatment, and waste water treatment, etc.
Structure of hollow fiber membrane
Features of hollow fiber membrane
- Excellent filtration accuracy. The filtration accuracy is 0.01um.
- A compact design is possible. The hollow fiber membrane does not need a support like other filters. Therefore, the filter cartridge can be made compact.
- Long filter life. The filter life becomes long, because the hollow fiber membrane can have a lot the membrane area per unit area.
The membrane area of the hollow fiber membrane becomes large 2-3 times the membrane area compared with a usual filter.
- Hydrophobic PP(Polypropylene) is hydrophobic. PP can remove water drop in the fluid.
