HYDRAcap®MAX80 UF Membrane Modules for Municipal Sewage Hydranautics Equivalent

Product Introduction

The HYDRAcap®MAX80 UF Membrane Module is a high-performance ultrafiltration solution specifically developed for the treatment of municipal sewage and urban wastewater. Designed as a compatible and efficient replacement for Hydranautics' original MAX80 modules, this membrane provides superior filtration capacity and long-term operating stability in variable municipal water quality conditions.

Urban wastewater treatment systems often encounter a complex mix of suspended solids, pathogens, nutrients, and organic contaminants. This UF membrane module is engineered with robust PVDF hollow fibers and a high active surface area to efficiently remove turbidity, bacteria, viruses, and fine colloidal matter—making it ideal for both primary polishing and water reuse projects in municipal infrastructure.

It supports decentralized treatment stations as well as large-scale wastewater treatment plants, offering a sustainable, low-footprint option for producing clarified effluent that meets increasingly stringent discharge and reuse standards.

Product Specifications

Application Areas

The HYDRAcap®MAX80 equivalent membrane is widely used across various stages of municipal sewage treatment, playing a vital role in sustainable urban water management. Common use cases include:

-Tertiary Filtration for Treated Effluent: Acts as a final polishing step after secondary treatment, ensuring removal of fine particles and pathogens.

-Water Reclamation and Reuse Systems: Produces high-quality effluent suitable for non-potable reuse applications such as landscaping, flushing, or industrial processes.

-Pretreatment for Advanced Processes: Provides clean feedwater for reverse osmosis, UV disinfection, or ozonation units in advanced municipal systems.

-Compact MBR Units: Serves as the core filtration component in membrane bioreactors (MBR) for decentralized wastewater treatment facilities.

-Effluent Upgrade for Nutrient Control: Enhances overall treatment performance by reducing total suspended solids and residual organic loads.

Its proven performance and operational flexibility make it ideal for both upgrading legacy wastewater systems and designing new, modular sewage treatment lines.
