Product Introduction
The TARGA II 10048-35-PEC Industrial Grade Ultrafiltration (UF) Module is a high-performance membrane element designed for large-scale industrial and municipal water treatment applications. Engineered as a direct equivalent to the Koch Membrane Systems’ TARGA II 10048-35-PEC, this module delivers outstanding performance, low operating costs, and long service life. It’s an ideal choice for engineers and operators looking to replace or expand Koch UF systems with a compatible, cost-effective solution.
Manufactured with polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) hollow fiber membranes, the module provides superior mechanical strength and excellent chemical resistance. With an outside-in filtration configuration, it allows high solids loading and easy cleaning, making it suitable for challenging feed water conditions such as surface water, wastewater, or RO pretreatment.
Whether it’s for drinking water production, wastewater recycling, or process water treatment, the TARGA II 10048-35-PEC equivalent module meets the highest standards in quality, efficiency, and reliability.

Working Principle
The TARGA II 10048-35-PEC UF module operates on an outside-in hollow fiber ultrafiltration principle, which provides robust and effective water treatment with high tolerance for feed water variability.
How It Works:
1. Feed water flows around the outside of the hollow fiber membranes, which are tightly packed within the module shell.
2. Contaminants such as suspended solids, microorganisms, and colloidal particles are trapped on the membrane surface.
3. Water passes through the 0.03-micron pores into the interior of each fiber, resulting in clean permeate.
4. Clean water is collected inside the fibers and exits through the module’s outlet.
5. The system initiates an automatic cleaning process (air scouring, backwashing, or chemical CIP) based on time, differential pressure, or turbidity rise, ensuring consistent performance and long membrane life.
This process enables continuous filtration while maintaining membrane integrity, reducing fouling, and minimizing downtime.
