LH3-0680-V UF Module LITREE Equivalent

Product Introduction

The LH3-0680-V UF Module is a high-performance ultrafiltration membrane system developed as a compatible and efficient alternative to the LITREE LH3-0680-V module. Engineered with advanced PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) hollow fiber membranes, this industrial-grade unit provides consistent water purification with excellent chemical resistance, long service life, and robust mechanical integrity.

This module is ideal for municipal, industrial, and commercial water treatment applications. As a direct replacement for LITREE models, the LH3-0680-V enables system upgrades or maintenance with minimal retrofit or downtime, offering enhanced performance at a competitive cost.

Working Principle

The LH3-0680-V module operates based on outside-in hollow fiber ultrafiltration technology, designed to physically remove suspended solids, bacteria, viruses, and colloidal substances through size exclusion.

Filtration Process:

1.    Feedwater enters the shell side of the module, surrounding the outer surface of the hollow fibers.

2.    Water passes through the porous membrane wall, where contaminants are retained based on pore size (~0.03 μm).

3.    Purified water flows inside the fiber (lumen) and is collected via the permeate outlet.

4.    Backflushing and air scouring periodically remove accumulated solids and extend membrane lifespan.

The result is reliable, low-turbidity permeate with a microbial removal efficiency exceeding 99.99%.

FAQ

1. Is this module fully compatible with the LITREE LH3-0680-V?

Yes. The LH3-0680-V matches the dimensions, hydraulic parameters, and fittings of the LITREE equivalent, enabling direct replacement without modification.

2. What impurities can it remove?

The membrane removes particles, bacteria, protozoa, algae, and suspended solids. It is not intended for salt or dissolved ion removal.

3. How often does it need cleaning?

Routine backwashing every 30–60 minutes is recommended. Chemical cleaning frequency depends on feedwater quality but typically ranges from weekly to monthly.

4. What’s the average flow rate per module?

Each LH3-0680-V module supports 4.5–6.0 m³/h depending on feedwater quality and transmembrane pressure.

5. Can this module be used for seawater filtration?

Yes, as a pretreatment step before desalination (SWRO), it helps protect downstream systems from fouling.

6. How long does the membrane last?

Typical membrane lifespan is 5 to 7 years under standard operational and maintenance conditions.

7. What chemicals can be used for cleaning?

Compatible with acidic, alkaline, and oxidative cleaning agents (e.g., citric acid, NaOH, sodium hypochlorite) within a pH range of 2–12.

8. What are the installation guidelines?

The module should be installed vertically, supported firmly, and connected with proper flow direction to ensure effective filtration. Manufacturer guidelines for backwash, air scour, and chemical cleaning must be followed.
