What are the advantages of flexible ceramic membranes over other filtration membranes in terms of energy consumption?
Flexible ceramic membranes have the following main advantages in terms of energy consumption:
1. Good hydrophilicity: Flexible ceramic membranes have a 0° hydrophilic angle. This excellent hydrophilicity can reduce operating energy consumption, delay membrane fouling, and extend service life.
2. High compressive strength: Flexible ceramic membranes have good flexibility and high strength and toughness. They will not deform under pressure, which means that they can maintain stable performance during high-pressure operation and do not require additional energy consumption to maintain the structural integrity of the membrane.
3. Good anti-fouling performance: Flexible ceramic membranes can effectively solve the problem of membrane scaling, reduce the frequency of cleaning and maintenance, and thus reduce related energy consumption.
4. Long service life: Due to their excellent mechanical strength and anti-fouling performance, flexible ceramic membranes have a long service life, reduce the frequency of replacement, and save energy and resources in the long run.
These characteristics enable flexible ceramic membranes to achieve efficient filtration and separation effects with lower energy consumption in practical applications, providing an energy-saving and environmentally friendly solution for water treatment and other application fields.
