[View now]( [] [Reliable Ultrafiltration with High Backwash Performance]( [Reliable Ultrafiltration with High Backwash Performance]( 3M Separation and Purification Sciences Division [3M Liqui-Flux® ultrafiltration modules]( are engineered for flexibility, durability, and performance. The modules use PES capillary membrane in a pressure-driven out flow design that can be operated in dead-end or cross-flow operating modes. This can help improve operating efficiency under changing and challenging water conditions even with coagulation. The inside-out flow design does not require scouring for cleaning which could help avoid fiber breaks and reduce system complexity and energy use. 3M's PES membranes are known for their well defined pore structure. UltraPES demonstrates this with its distinctive three layer structure providing a highly porous support for the separation layer.
