SFP-2860 Industrial Grade UF Module DupPont DOW Equivalent

Product Introduction

The SFP-2860 Industrial Grade Ultrafiltration (UF) Module is a high-performance, cost-effective solution designed to meet the growing demand for advanced water treatment across municipal and industrial sectors. Developed as a full equivalent to Dupont/DOW’s SFP-2860, this UF module offers identical dimensions, materials, and operating performance, making it the ideal replacement for retrofits or new system installations requiring DOW-quality reliability.

Constructed with hollow fiber PVDF membranes, the SFP-2860 module provides superior filtration precision, excellent resistance to chemicals, and extended operating life. Its design supports consistent operation even under challenging water conditions and ensures clean, safe water output suitable for a wide range of applications—from drinking water treatment to industrial process water recovery.

Working Principle

Ultrafiltration is a membrane-based separation technology that uses physical barriers to remove particles, microorganisms, colloids, and high molecular weight contaminants from water. The SFP-2860 UF module adopts an outside-in hollow fiber flow pattern, providing maximum surface area for effective separation.

How It Works:

1. Feed Water Entry: Raw or pre-treated water flows into the housing and surrounds the hollow fibers.

2. Filtration: Water passes through the membrane wall from the outside to the inside of the fibers. Particles larger than the 0.03 μm pore size are blocked.

3. Permeate Collection: The purified water (permeate) is collected from the inner lumen of the fibers.

4. Cleaning: Periodic air scouring, backwashing, and chemical cleaning (CIP) remove accumulated solids and biological fouling.

This operational cycle ensures low energy consumption, stable flux, and minimal fouling, making it suitable for continuous operations.
