Introduction
The Vibro-I is an industrial filtration
solution for applications where low energy
consumption, high flux, sanitary function,
low capital investment and gentle filtration
are key words. The Vibro-I delivers
continuous low fouling filtration where the
filter is kept clean by vibration shear.
The membrane module vibrates while the
patented Vibro
®
technology makes the
media inside the module stationary. The
relative vibration of media and membrane
creates turbulence on the membrane
surface and thereby keeps the fouling layer
at a minimum. The turbulence is only
created at vertical surfaces. Thus, the
energy required to create the turbulence at
the membrane surfaces is minimized.
Because the Vibro
®
technology creates
turbulence at the membrane surfaces, the
need for a large circulation pump known
from other membrane technologies is
eliminated. This also reduces and often
eliminates the need for cooling of the
retentate, which again adds to the energy
savings.
The Vibro-I utilizes the Free Flow Plate
™
technology which is an innovative
membrane module design with free flow
filtration on flat membrane surfaces. The
Free Flow Plate
™
can be configured with
most commercially available microfiltration
or ultrafiltration membranes.
The Free Flow Plate
™
has a 1.7 mm free
flow channel between the membranes that
