Aquaporin Inside HFFO06 Hollow Fiber FO Membrane Modules

In a joint effort to address our customers’ growing need for a Forward Osmosis (FO) membrane module that has a larger membrane active area compared to our flat sheet FO modules, but has a smaller membrane active area than the Aquaporin Inside HFFO2 module, Sterlitech is now pleased to announce the launch of Aquaporin Inside HFFO06 hollow fiber FO membrane module.

Aquaporin Inside HFFO06 hollow fiber FO membrane module has a 0.6 m² membrane active area and can be operated with lower volumes of feed and draw solutions compared to the Aquaporin Inside HFFO2 hollow fiber FO membrane module with a 2.3 m² membrane active area, making this a perfect fit for lab scale testing and small-scale production.

Membrane active layer in these HF membranes is composed of a thin film composite with integrated aquaporin proteins. Use of HF membranes allows higher packing density (i.e. higher membrane active area) in the module.

Applications of Aquaporin Inside HFFO06 hollow fiber FO membrane module:

  • Forward Osmosis filtration
  • Hard to treat waters
  • High salinity water treatment
  • Food and beverage industry

To assemble a full filtration system configured with the HFFO06 module, you will need two low pressure pumps for circulation of feed and draw solutions, as well as system controls such as flow meters, pressure control valves and pressure gauges.
