Q&A

Yes, piloting is very important, especially for new applications. Mobile pilot units on-site are common; lab-scale tests can help for initial screening.

Typically basket strainers or automatic strainers. For fibers, gravity filters or disc filters are better than rotary drums.

Yes, tubular UF works well for oily wastewater, including refinery and automotive applications. Permeate quality can be < 5 ppm oil.

Stable emulsions can handle up to 3–4% oil; free mineral oil becomes critical even at 100 ppm. Permeate typically < 5 ppm oil.

Yes, up to 90% recovery is achievable depending on process design and timing.

Yes, recommended is 2–3 m/s to avoid abrasion and extend membrane life.

UF only removes particles, not dissolved organics. Additional treatment like activated carbon or oxidation may be needed.

CIP does not remove silica; mechanical cleaning (backwash) is preferred.

Solids up to 3–4%; flux typically 15–30 LMH (up to 50 LMH in special cases). High viscosity requires special pumps.

Always internal recirculation for crossflow. For high recovery, batch or semi-batch operation is common.
