Membrane filtration systems require spacers between individual membrane plates in order to feed and draw the liquids that are being filtered. Sefar fabrics are excellent spacer materials. Their three-dimensional structure increases turbulence in the feed process, increases drainage performance and reduces build-up of solids on the membrane surface.
Membrane spacers can be offered in different materials depending on the system requirements.
For chemically-aggressive environments or high-temperature applications Sefar recommends PEEK and fluorinated products.
