JXMF165 is a Pall hollow fibre ultrafiltration module used in wine filtration and industrial water treatment, and it is also referred to in the market in connection with the Microza MF range. For plants running on these modules, JXMF165 from JX Purification is offered as a replacement product. Before making the switch, compatibility must be checked in a structured way.
This guide compares MF and JXMF165 across the dimensions that matter most and explains how to verify compatibility before full-scale replacement.
JXMF165 is a hollow fibre UF module with a defined membrane area, dimensions, and connection interface designed for specific operating conditions. It is used in applications such as wine clarification and industrial water treatment. Plants often seek an alternative because of cost, lead time, or supply.
JXMF165 is X Membrane's replacement UF membrane module, designed as an alternative for systems using UTP6443-class modules. Like the original, it is a hollow fibre module, but compatibility still depends on matching the relevant parameters and confirming performance under operating conditions.
An incompatible module can cause installation problems, poor sealing, lower flux, degraded permeate quality, or damage to the membrane. Nominal similarity does not guarantee interchangeability. Compatibility should be confirmed against the actual system and process requirements.
Parameter | What to check |
Mechanical dimensions | Overall length, diameter, port type, gasket / O-ring position |
Membrane material | Polymer type and construction; compatibility with the feed and cleaning |
Filtration rating | Pore size / nominal cut-off relative to the separation requirement |
Operating limits | Allowed pressure, temperature, and pH range |
Cleaning compatibility | Alkaline and acidic cleaners, oxidising agents, temperature, exposure time |
Flux and performance | Throughput (LMH), permeate quality, product recovery, cleaning recovery |

How to Verify Compatibility
Confirm the original module details, compare the technical parameters, check equipment compatibility, run sample or pilot testing under representative conditions, and review the results against agreed acceptance criteria before scale-up. For critical applications, a staged replacement can reduce risk.
A similar nominal pore size or membrane material does not automatically establish equivalent performance. Actual results depend on the feed, configuration, cleaning, and operating conditions. Evaluate the finished module rather than relying on specifications alone.
