Technologies from SANI Membranes

Free Flow Plate™ technology - Our core product

- New disruptive UF and MF membrane modules

New Cross Flow solutions - Our conservative solution

- Traditional, but new solution utilizing the Free Flow Plate™ membrane modules

Vibro™ technology - Our core solution

- New Disruptive filtration process - utilizing the Free Flow Plate™ membrane modules

• Fast flow creates pressure loss

• Circulation pump affects product and uses energy

• Energy extensive cooling is needed

• Vibration creates turbulence on surfaces

• No pressure loss - uniform TMP

• Turbulence only where needed! – minimal cooling needed

Cross Flow filtration vs. Vibro™ Filtration

Vibration of the membrane relative to the slow flowing media

Fast flowing media create turbulence on the membrane

SANI Membranes 5

• No Pressure Loss – Reduces energy consumption by 50-90%

• Turbulence only where needed – NO cooling needed

• Sharper cut-off - 100% uniform TMP - leading to new MF and UF opportunities

• Very low TMP is possible – MF filtration with 0,1 bar TMP in the entire system

• High concentrations, viscosities and solids loads

• 100% Drainable – no product loss

• Fully recyclable – one polymer only

• Sanitary – GMP - Shorter cleaning time, less water & chemicals

• Small foot print, easy maintenance etc. etc.…
