Product Introduction
LEFILTER's HYDRAcap80 Ultrafiltration Membrane Module is an advanced filtration component designed to meet the complex water treatment needs of the textile dyeing and printing industry. Offered as a functional equivalent to the Hydranautics HYDRAcap80 model, this membrane provides reliable, high-efficiency separation of colorants, chemical residues, and organic pollutants commonly found in textile wastewater.
Due to the high concentration of dyes, surfactants, and chemical additives used in textile processing, wastewater from these operations can be highly variable and difficult to treat. The HYDRAcap80 equivalent module addresses these challenges through its robust membrane structure, hydrophilic surface, and superior fouling resistance. It is especially effective in water recovery and reuse applications, helping reduce freshwater demand and minimize environmental discharge.

Its modular design makes it easy to scale, retrofit, or integrate into existing ultrafiltration systems, delivering high-quality permeate suitable for reuse in dyeing lines or compliant discharge.

Application Areas
The HYDRAcap80 UF membrane equivalent is tailored for water treatment systems in textile manufacturing and dyeing facilities. Its efficient filtration capabilities support both compliance and sustainability goals across various operations:
Treatment of Dye-Laden Wastewater: Effectively removes color pigments, suspended solids, and chemical additives prior to discharge or reuse.
Water Recycling in Dyeing Lines: Produces filtrate with low turbidity and organic load, suitable for reuse in non-critical washing or rinsing steps.
Pretreatment for RO Systems: Enhances performance of downstream reverse osmosis membranes by reducing SDI and removing colloidal contaminants.
Effluent Polishing: Serves as a final filtration barrier before discharge to ensure adherence to environmental regulations.
Closed-Loop Water Recovery: Supports zero liquid discharge (ZLD) strategies in modern textile plants by enabling high-efficiency water reclamation.
This membrane module contributes to reducing chemical oxygen demand (COD), total suspended solids (TSS), and dye concentration in treated water streams, making it an essential tool in sustainable textile wastewater treatment.
FAQ
Q: Is the HYDRAcap80 equivalent suitable for high-chemical-load wastewater?
A: Absolutely. It is designed to operate under challenging chemical conditions and withstand exposure to a wide range of surfactants, salts, and pH levels.
Q: What is the average service life in textile applications?
A: While exact lifespan varies by operation, with proper cleaning and maintenance the membrane can function effectively for 3–5 years even in harsh textile wastewater environments.
