SFP-2880 Industrial Grade UF Module DupPont Equivalent

Product Introduction

The SFP-2880 Industrial Grade Ultrafiltration (UF) Module is an advanced water purification solution engineered for high-capacity, long-term performance in industrial and municipal applications. This module is fully compatible with the Dupont/DOW SFP-2880 model, offering a direct and reliable alternative with the same structural dimensions, membrane materials, and hydraulic specifications.

Equipped with hollow fiber membranes made of PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride), the SFP-2880 offers excellent chemical resistance, durability, and outstanding filtration precision down to 0.03 microns. This makes it ideal for a wide variety of applications—from RO pretreatment to municipal water treatment and wastewater recycling—delivering reliable, cost-effective, and sustainable filtration performance.

Working Principle

The SFP-2880 UF Module operates on a membrane separation principle, utilizing outside-in hollow fiber filtration. This method ensures that feed water passes through the membrane from the outside of each fiber to the inside, trapping contaminants such as suspended solids, bacteria, viruses, and colloids on the fiber surface.

Process Overview:

1.    Feed water enters the module shell and flows around the outer surface of the hollow fibers.

2.    Clean water (permeate) passes through the porous membrane wall into the core of the fibers.

3.    Contaminants larger than 0.03 microns are retained on the outer surface.

4.    Periodic backwashing and chemical cleaning (CIP) remove fouling and maintain filtration efficiency.

This continuous filtration process operates at low pressure, providing high water recovery and energy-efficient performance. The SFP-2880 is designed for automatic operation, with minimal intervention required.
