CPEO-1080 UF Module Canpure Equivalent

Product Introduction

The CPEO-1080 UF Module is a high-performance ultrafiltration (UF) membrane system designed as a reliable equivalent to the Canpure CPEO-1080 module. Built with durable polyethersulfone (PES) hollow fiber membranes, this module provides excellent separation performance, offering an effective solution for municipal water treatment, wastewater recycling, and industrial process water production.

With a nominal pore size of 0.03 μm, the CPEO-1080 UF Module efficiently removes suspended solids, colloids, bacteria, viruses, and other harmful microorganisms, while allowing beneficial minerals and salts to pass through. Its outside-in filtration design maximizes solids tolerance and ensures long service life, making it an economical and sustainable option for water treatment facilities worldwide.

Whether used in retrofit projects as a direct replacement for Canpure modules or integrated into new filtration systems, the CPEO-1080 UF Module offers dependable performance, operational flexibility, and easy maintenance.

Working Principle

The CPEO-1080 UF Module operates on the pressure-driven ultrafiltration principle, using a hollow fiber membrane structure to separate contaminants from water.

1.    Feedwater Entry
Untreated water enters the module and surrounds the hollow fibers.

2.    Filtration by Size Exclusion
Due to the 0.03 μm pore size, clean water molecules pass through the fiber walls into the lumen, while larger particles such as bacteria, viruses, and suspended solids are retained outside.

3.    Permeate Collection
The filtered water, or permeate, flows into the hollow fiber lumens and exits through the outlet.

4.    Cleaning Cycles
The module supports air scouring, backwashing, and chemical cleaning, which restore flux, reduce fouling, and extend service life.

This design enables stable water production even under challenging feedwater conditions while consuming minimal energy compared to traditional sand filters or microfiltration systems.
