“Ultrafiltration (UF) is a variety of membrane filtration in which hydrostatic pressure forces a liquid against a semipermeable membrane. Suspended solids and solutes of high molecular weight are retained, while water and low molecular weight solutes pass through the membrane. This separation process is used in industry and research for purifying and concentrating macromolecular solutions, especially protein solutions. Ultrafiltration is applied in cross-flow and separation in ultrafiltration undergoes concentration polarization.”

“Reverse osmosis (RO) is a membrane separation method that removes many types of large molecules and ions from solutions by applying pressure to the solution when it is on one side of a selective membrane. The result is that the solute is retained on the pressurized side of the membrane and the pure solvent is allowed to pass to the other side. To be “selective,” this membrane should not allow large molecules or ions through the pores (holes), but should allow smaller components of the solution (such as the solvent) to pass freely.”

Tubular membranes are particularly suited to fluids with high viscosity and/or suspended solids, as their wide flow paths make them highly resistant to blocking. Pre-treatment requirements are minimal, and are often completely avoided – a benefit that makes membranes the most cost effective choice for many small systems.
Membrane DevelopmentOur development chemists continuously refine product performance to expand our range, extending the benefits to users to offer. Our in-house development and manufacturing capability enables us to provide customised membranes tailored for specific applications. This can prove highly beneficial vwhere short process development times are the key. New developments include hydrophilic membranes for lower fouling, improved selectivity, increased solvent, acid and base resistance, improved flux and strengthened membrane supports.
Proprietary Tubular MembranesAll membranes are produced “in-house” in our purpose-built facility, operating under the international Quality Assurance standard ISO 9001:2015. The table (opposite) provides a technical summary of our range of modules which are fully compatible with our tubular membranes.
CleaningThe choice of cleaning chemicals and cleaning frequency depend upon the nature of the process and the membrane type. Acids, Alkalis and Detergents are used as required. Typical cleaning procedures are indicated on the below table. The C10 type applications can also be cleaned mechanically using an automated “pigging” process that uses foam balls and can significantly reduce the need for cleaning chemicals.
ApplicationsApplications where tubular membranes have been selected as the best process solution include:• Wood pulp bleach wastewater separation• Lignosulphonate fractionation• Side-stream (external) membrane
bioreactors (MBRs)• Landfill leachate treatment• Metal finishing wastewater separation• Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient
manufacture• Manufacture of fine chemicals (various)• Dairy applications (e.g. milk
concentration)• Fruit juice clarification• Drinking water treatment• Textile dye processing (e.g. desalting)• Textile process wastewater treatment/
reuse• Clean In Place (CIP) solution recovery• Product recovery• Acid purification• Process R & D (academic and industrial)
Our range of over 22 tubular membranes incorporates products that are suitable for all these applications.

Quality AssuranceApplications where tubular membranes have PCI Membranes designs, manufactures and provides supply and servicing of equipment for liquid separation.
to the quality standard: BS EN ISO 9001:2015 Destructive testing is carried out on samples of every membrane batch, as well as 100% performance testing of all RO and NF membranes. Finished membranes are preserved and stored under carefullycontrolled conditions to prevent deterioration during storage. A computerised records and bar-coding system provides for complete traceability of each membrane produced, and facilitates traceability to confirm that the membranes meet PCI Membranes high quality standards.
PCI Membrane products are offered with guarantees commensurate with their application and conditions of use. Additionally our experience of delivering membrane solutions allows us to provide extensive process performance guarantees when offering complete systems.
