LH3-0650-V UF Module LITREE Equivalent

Product Introduction

The LH3-0650-V Ultrafiltration (UF) Module is an advanced industrial-grade membrane module designed as a direct replacement for the LITREE LH3-0650-V. Developed using robust PVDF hollow fiber membranes, this module offers superior filtration performance, chemical resistance, and operational longevity. It is ideally suited for diverse water treatment applications including municipal water supply, industrial process water, wastewater recycling, and pretreatment for reverse osmosis systems.

With optimized design parameters and compatibility with standard LITREE systems, the LH3-0650-V UF Module provides a cost-effective and efficient solution for upgrading or maintaining high-performance water filtration systems without modifying the original system configuration.

Working Principle

The LH3-0650-V UF module operates using outside-in hollow fiber ultrafiltration technology. This filtration method is driven by pressure, allowing water to pass through the outer surface of the membrane fibers while rejecting suspended solids, bacteria, colloids, and high molecular weight substances.

Filtration Process Overview:

1.    Feedwater Introduction
Untreated water enters the outer shell of the module, surrounding the outside of the hollow fiber membranes.

2.    Filtration Phase
Driven by a low-pressure gradient, water penetrates the porous membrane walls from the outside in. The pores, nominally 0.03 microns in diameter, effectively block contaminants such as microorganisms and turbidity-causing particles.

3.    Permeate Collection
Filtered water flows into the center of the hollow fibers and exits the module through the permeate outlet.

4.    Backwashing and Chemical Cleaning
Regular backwashing dislodges accumulated solids. Periodic chemical cleaning (CIP) removes persistent fouling and restores flux.

This membrane process ensures consistent water quality and extends the operational life of downstream equipment like reverse osmosis membranes.
