Silicon Membrane Filter Crystar

Product Description

Crystar FT® silicon carbide membranes for filtration applications

Crystar®FT ceramic membrane filters from Saint-Gobain offer longer life,corrosion and erosion resistance and the highest flux of any membranes on the market.

Advanced silicon carbide membranes from Saint-Gobain can remove total suspended solids, hydrocarbons (oil) and bacteria. Crystar® FT filters offer the highest flux of any membrane materials.

Advanced Silicon Carbide Membranes are chemically robust, and abrasion and erosion resistant. These membranes can be run in high temperature conditions and exhibit minimal fouling. Membranes can be cleaned in place to maintain consistent flux. This results in consistent output, reduced maintenance, and lower equipment and labor costs.

Saint-Gobain Performance Ceramics & Refractories manufactures recrystallized silicon carbide (R-SiC) microfiltration membranes in crossflow and dead-end configurations with several membranes pore sizes, for a wide range of demanding applications. Using advanced R-SiC membranes from Saint-Gobain significantly increased the productivity of filtration processes, reduces the equipment footprint and operating costs and decreases chemical and water usages.
