PALL MEMBRALOX Ceramic Microfiltration System – Alfa Laval Pumps – Dairy Industry

Used industrial ceramic membrane filtration system, possibly previously used for bacterial reduction in milk (Bactocatch-type application).

Industrial microfiltration system equipped with PALL MEMBRALOX ceramic membrane elements, stainless steel membrane housings, three large Alfa Laval circulation pumps and associated stainless steel piping and fittings.

The system originates from the dairy industry and is suitable for consideration in milk processing, bacterial reduction, clarification and other industrial liquid filtration applications, subject to verification of membrane specifications and process requirements.

Technical Description

Membrane Filtration Section

• Manufacturer/brand: PALL MEMBRALOX

• Filtration technology: Ceramic membrane microfiltration

• Number of stainless steel membrane housings: 10 pcs.

• Ceramic multichannel membrane elements installed

• Approximate membrane housing height: 1,100–1,150 mm

• Approximate overall height including U-bends: 1,800–1,850 mm

• Approximate membrane housing diameter: 300 mm (to be confirmed)

• 3 large stainless steel U-shaped connecting pipes

• Flanged connections and stainless steel process fittings

• Removable membrane housing covers

• Stainless steel supporting structures

The membrane elements have a multichannel ceramic construction designed for crossflow filtration applications.

Exact membrane pore size, active filtration area and membrane condition have not been verified.

Pumping Section

The system includes three large Alfa Laval centrifugal circulation pumps.

• Manufacturer: Alfa Laval, Denmark

• Quantity: 3 pcs.

• Two pumps of identical design

• One additional, slightly larger pump

• Identified pump type: Alfa Laval LKH 85/220

• Identified pump year: 2010

Electrical Equipment

• Motor starter cabinet included

• No complete process control system or PLC supplied

• Electrical drawings not available

• Additional control equipment may be required for recommissioning

Possible Applications

Depending on membrane specifications and condition, the equipment may be suitable for:

• Dairy milk microfiltration

• Bacterial reduction in milk

• Bactocatch-type dairy filtration processes

• Whey filtration and clarification

• Food and beverage liquid filtration

• Other industrial ceramic crossflow microfiltration applications

The original process application is believed to have been related to bacterial reduction in dairy processing but has not been independently confirmed.

Equipment Included

• 10 stainless steel membrane housings with ceramic membrane elements

• 3 stainless steel U-shaped membrane connecting pipes

• 3 large Alfa Laval centrifugal pumps

• Stainless steel supporting frames

• Associated stainless steel piping and process fittings

• Motor starter cabinet
