CPI-1080 UF Module Canpure Equivalent

Product Introduction

The CPI-1080 UF Module Equivalent is a high-quality ultrafiltration (UF) membrane module designed to match the performance and configuration of the original Canpure CPI-1080 model. Engineered with cutting-edge membrane technology, this module delivers excellent filtration performance, durability, and reliability across a broad range of water treatment applications.

This module employs hollow fiber ultrafiltration membranes with a nominal pore size of 0.03 microns, capable of removing suspended solids, microorganisms, and macromolecular organics from various water sources. With its outside-in filtration configuration, the CPI-1080 Equivalent offers superior fouling resistance, high recovery rates, and easy maintenance.

Ideal for municipal water systems, industrial facilities, and wastewater treatment plants, this module ensures stable output quality, long operational life, and efficient cost control.

Working Principle

The CPI-1080 UF Module operates using the hollow fiber ultrafiltration principle, a physical separation process driven by pressure differences. Here’s how the filtration works:

1.    Feed water enters the module housing and flows outside the hollow fiber membranes.

2.    Under low-pressure differential, clean water passes through the membrane walls (from outside to inside).

3.    Contaminants, such as suspended solids, bacteria, and colloids, are retained on the fiber’s outer surface.

4.    Periodic air scouring and backflushing clean the membrane surface, maintaining permeability and minimizing downtime.

This robust system allows consistent performance with minimal chemical usage and mechanical stress.
