K-600ETN0812 UF Module Hyflux Equivalent

Product Introduction

The K-600ETN0812 Ultrafiltration (UF) Module is a high-performance filtration solution, designed as a direct equivalent to the Hyflux Kristal® UF series. This module offers reliable and sustainable water treatment for both municipal and industrial applications. Engineered with robust PVDF hollow fiber membranes, it provides superior separation of suspended solids, bacteria, viruses, and colloids while ensuring high flow rates and energy efficiency.

Fully compatible with Hyflux system configurations, the K-600ETN0812 module is an ideal drop-in replacement for retrofits or new installations requiring top-tier UF performance without redesigning existing infrastructure. It is built to meet global standards for drinking water, process water, and wastewater reuse applications.

Working Principle

The K-600ETN0812 UF Module utilizes the outside-in hollow fiber filtration method, a highly efficient and widely adopted technology in modern membrane water treatment systems.

Filtration Process:

1.    Feed Distribution
Raw or pretreated water is directed around the outside of the porous hollow fibers. The uniform distribution enables even loading and minimizes dead zones.

2.    Selective Separation
As feed water is pressurized (0.1–0.3 MPa), clean water permeates through the membrane walls, while particulates, bacteria, and macromolecules are retained on the outside.

3.    Permeate Collection
The filtered water flows through the inner core of the fibers (lumen) and exits via the permeate port, ready for downstream use.

4.    Self-Cleaning Mechanism
The system supports automated air scouring, periodic backflushing, and chemical cleaning (CIP) to remove fouling and extend membrane life.

This continuous cycle of filtration and cleaning ensures consistent water quality, high flux, and long operational life.
