dizzer®XL0.9MB80W UF Membrane Inge Equivalent

Product Introduction

The dizzer® XL 0.9 MB 80 W Industrial Grade Ultrafiltration (UF) Membrane is a premium, high-performance module designed as an equivalent replacement to the Inge dizzer® XL 0.9 MB 80 W membrane. Leveraging advanced Multibore® membrane technology, this module delivers exceptional filtration performance, mechanical integrity, and chemical resistance, making it ideal for both municipal and industrial water treatment applications.

This UF module provides excellent removal efficiency for bacteria, viruses, suspended solids, and colloids, with a nominal pore size of 0.02 microns. Engineered for durability and long service life, it is particularly suited for pre-treatment in reverse osmosis systems, wastewater reuse, drinking water production, and industrial process water recovery.

Working Principle

The dizzer® XL 0.9 MB 80 W UF membrane operates on a pressurized outside-in flow filtration principle using Multibore® hollow fiber membranes. Each fiber contains multiple internal capillaries that combine the benefits of single and multi-bore membranes, resulting in superior mechanical strength and filtration efficiency.

Filtration Process:

1.    Feed Water Enters the Shell Side: Untreated water flows into the module and surrounds the membrane fibers.

2.    Contaminants are Rejected: As water passes from the outside to the inside of the fibers, the 0.02 µm membrane layer captures suspended solids, bacteria, and viruses.

3.    Permeate is Collected: Clean, filtered water flows through the lumen and exits via the central permeate port.

4.    Backwash and Chemical Cleaning: The module allows periodic backflushing and chemical cleaning to restore membrane permeability and prolong service life.

This design allows for consistent and uninterrupted filtration with low fouling rates and high flux, even in challenging feed water conditions.

FAQ

Q1: Is this UF module certified for drinking water use?
Yes. The module complies with NSF/ANSI 61 and international standards for potable water applications.

Q2: Can it directly replace an original Inge dizzer® XL 0.9 MB 80 W?
Absolutely. It is designed as a direct replacement, matching the same footprint, connections, and performance specifications.

Q3: What is the cleaning frequency required?
Backwashing is typically recommended every 30–60 minutes of operation. Chemical CIP should be scheduled based on fouling conditions—commonly once every 1–4 weeks.

Q4: What’s the advantage of Multibore® technology?
Multibore® fibers combine several capillaries into a single structure, providing excellent mechanical strength, lower fiber breakage risk, and more stable performance.

Q5: Can this membrane handle high-turbidity or high-bacterial-load feed water?
Yes. It is specifically designed to handle challenging feedwaters with heavy particulate or microbial loads.

Q6: Is air scouring necessary during cleaning?
While not mandatory, air scouring enhances the efficiency of backwashing by improving particulate removal from the membrane surface.

Q7: How long can this module last under regular use?
With proper operation and maintenance, the expected lifespan is between 3 to 5 years or longer.

Q8: What chemicals are safe for membrane cleaning?
Common cleaning agents like sodium hypochlorite, citric acid, and caustic soda (NaOH) are compatible within the allowed pH range (2–12).
