Spiral-Wound Filters A Lynchpin For Ultrafiltration And Microfiltration Applications

Spiral-wound filters are beneficial for water reuse in industrial applications because the design enables high volumes of permeable membrane to be packed into a confined space. However, the compact nature of their design makes them susceptible to accumulations that can reduce their lifespan. The good news is that new developments in single-layer membrane technology are allowing filter elements to generate higher flux rates and cleaner permeate while reducing the tendency for fouling.
