Product Introduction
LEFILTER introduces the SFP/SFD2860 Ultrafiltration Membrane for Power Plant Boiler, a high-performance membrane module engineered as a reliable DupPont DOW equivalent. Designed specifically to meet the demanding water purification needs of power plant boiler feed systems, this membrane ensures consistent removal of suspended solids, colloids, and microorganisms, protecting the downstream processes from fouling and scaling. The integration of advanced hollow fiber technology and robust PVDF material ensures long-term chemical and mechanical stability, making it ideal for high-pressure and high-temperature water treatment scenarios typically found in thermal and combined cycle power plants.
With increasing emphasis on operational reliability, water reuse, and minimizing downtime, the SFP/SFD2860 ultrafiltration module offers superior filtration efficiency, low operating costs, and simplified maintenance, positioning itself as a strategic component in industrial boiler water treatment infrastructure.

Application Fields
The SFP/SFD2860 Ultrafiltration Membrane is specifically adapted for:
Power Plant Boiler Water Pre-treatment: Effectively reduces turbidity and suspended solids in feedwater, preventing scaling and corrosion in boilers and improving the lifespan of downstream ion exchange or reverse osmosis units.
Condensate Polishing Systems: Ensures high-purity water recirculation within thermal power systems by removing organic fouling agents and particulates.
Turbine Cooling Water Treatment: Maintains purity of process water used in cooling systems to ensure efficient heat exchange and reduced maintenance.
Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) Support: Operates as a pre-filtration stage in ZLD processes, increasing the efficiency and reducing fouling of downstream evaporators or crystallizers.
Its versatility also makes it suitable for combined-cycle plants, cogeneration facilities, and coal-fired boilers, offering consistently high rejection of turbidity and microbiological contaminants with minimal chemical use.
FAQ
Q1: How does this membrane improve boiler operation efficiency?
A1: By providing high-quality feedwater with low turbidity and minimal organic matter, it reduces scaling and corrosion inside boilers, thus lowering energy consumption and extending boiler service life.
Q2: What is the typical cleaning frequency for power plant applications?
A2: Under optimal conditions, chemical enhanced backwash (CEB) may be required every 7–14 days, with a more thorough CIP process performed monthly, depending on feedwater quality.
