The HyperFlux Tubular UF membranes from Berghof Membranes are made from low-fouling PVDF, PES, and chemical-resistant polymers cast onto dual support layers.
All HyperFlux, HyperFlux LE and HyperFlux CR membranes are produced in our state-of-the-art LEAN production facility in Germany. Highly trained production specialists, controlled processes, and premium raw materials guarantee exceptional membrane quality and durability.
Our proprietary module assembly process ensures perfect axial alignment of all membrane tubes, preventing clogging and maintaining consistent hydraulic performance. This facilitates effective cleaning and long-term operational stability.
Unlike outside-in filtration, as seen with submerged membrane technology, our robust tubular UF membranes enable operators to sustain higher flux rates with less frequent cleanings and reduced maintenance.
Ideal for low-load wastewater treatment and similar applications.
Advantage:
High packing density in the module → compact systems with a smaller footprint.
For high-load wastewater with high solids, oil or colloids content.
Typical applications:
MBR, AnMBR, industrial wastewater treatment.
Advantage:
Excellent fouling resistance under high loads
Especially for high TSS/high viscosity streams, such as sludge handling or food & beverage applications.
Advantage:
Lower pressure drops across the membrane and improved energy efficiency.
PVDF: 30 nm, 15 kDa
PES: 100 – 50 – 5 kDa
Unlike conventional tubular UF membranes, the HyperFlux LE series is designed for full backwash capability, allowing operators to periodically clean the membrane from the outside to in. This mechanical cleaning step reduces reversible fouling, stabilizes flux over longer operating periods, and minimizes the need for chemical cleaning.
Ideal for low- to medium-load wastewater with moderate solids or colloids.
Advantage:
High packing density in the module → compact systems with a smaller footprint
For higher-load wastewater containing solids, emulsions, or fouling-prone components.
Typical applications:
MBR/AnMBR, industrial wastewater treatment, process water recycling.
Advantage:
Excellent fouling resistance under varying loads and optimized hydraulic behavior during backwash.
PVDF: 30 nm
PES: 100 kDa
HyperFlux CR membranes are developed for applications that require enhanced chemical cleaning compatibility and long-term membrane stability, especially in industrial wastewater streams with high fouling potential. While not designed for solvent resistance, HyperFlux CR membranes tolerate frequent and intensive acid and caustic cleaning, making them suitable for processes where robust cleaning cycles are essential for maintaining stable flux.
Ideal for lower-load industrial wastewater where higher packing density is desired and footprint matters.
Advantage:
High membrane packing density → more compact module designs.
Designed for medium- to high-load wastewater streams containing solids, oil, colloids, or biological matter.
Typical applications:
MBR, AnMBR, general industrial wastewater treatment.
Advantage:
Excellent fouling resistance and stable flux under varying loads.
PVDF: 30 nm, 15 kDa
PES: 100 kDa
The HyperFlux CR membrane family provides reliable performance in processes that require stronger or more frequent cleaning cycles. Its polymer structure and mechanical reinforcement are designed to tolerate:
This combination makes HyperFlux CR a robust choice for facilities operating under high fouling loads and needing reliable long-term performance without solvent exposure.
