IntegraPac™ IP-77 UFMembrane Module for Petrochemical Industry DuPont Equivalent

Production

LEFILTER's IntegraPac™ IP-77 UF Membrane Module is a high-capacity ultrafiltration unit specifically designed for demanding water treatment processes in the petrochemical industry. As a direct equivalent to the DuPont IntegraPac™ system, this module provides an ideal combination of filtration performance, chemical resistance, and structural integrity in a modular design that is easy to install and maintain.

In complex petrochemical environments where feedwater often contains emulsified oils, suspended solids, and high levels of organic contaminants, UF technology plays a critical role in protecting downstream processes and improving water reuse efficiency. The IP-77 equivalent module ensures consistent permeability, low fouling tendency, and robust operation under variable feed conditions, making it a preferred choice for refinery effluent treatment, cooling tower make-up water, and desalination pretreatment.

Whether deployed in centralized treatment plants or point-of-use systems within petrochemical complexes, this membrane module meets the stringent operational requirements of modern industrial water management.

Product Specifications

This membrane module seamlessly integrates into UF systems originally configured for DuPont IP-series components, allowing for reliable replacement and system continuity with minimal adjustments.

Application Areas

The IP-77 UF membrane module equivalent is engineered for challenging industrial water applications, particularly those common in the petrochemical sector. Its ability to withstand aggressive fouling agents and maintain high throughput makes it highly effective in:

-Pretreatment for Reverse Osmosis (RO) Systems: Prevents membrane scaling and fouling in RO by eliminating colloids, suspended matter, and biofoulants.

-Cooling Tower Water Treatment: Enhances cycle of concentration by removing organics and turbidity from make-up or blowdown water.

-Wastewater Reuse: Enables petrochemical facilities to reclaim treated effluent for process reuse or safe discharge.

-Desalter Feed Filtration: Removes oil emulsions and particulates from feedwater prior to entering desalter units.

-Boiler Feedwater Clarification: Improves reliability and operational safety by providing low SDI (Silt Density Index) feedwater.

Its excellent chemical compatibility and mechanical strength allow it to perform well in systems dealing with hydrocarbons, surfactants, polymers, and variable pH streams typical of refinery and petrochemical effluents.

FAQ:

Q: How does this module perform in RO pretreatment applications?

A: It acts as a critical barrier, reducing SDI values and protecting downstream RO membranes from early fouling, thus extending their service life and improving system efficiency.

Q: Is this module suitable for retrofit in existing DuPont UF systems?

A: Yes, it is engineered as a dimensional and performance equivalent to the IntegraPac™ IP-77, allowing plug-and-play installation into compatible rack systems.
