Successful Replacement of Hydracap Max 80 with JX Ultrafiltration Membranes at A European Rubber Plant

Membrane separation technology is increasingly used in water treatment and liquid separation in industries worldwide. Particularly in the rubber manufacturing industry, the effective use of membrane technology plays an important role in improving production efficiency and reducing operating costs. Recently, a rubber manufacturing plant in Europe successfully replaced its Hydrodynamic brand membranes with JX ultrafiltration membranes, which not only significantly improved the stability of the production process, but also optimised the overall performance of the water treatment system. This case provides a valuable reference for other industrial enterprises.

Comparison of JX ultrafiltration membranes and Hydrogenic membranes

Technical specifications and performance

1. Separation Precision

JX ultrafiltration membrane adopts advanced PVDF and PES materials, which has higher separation precision and larger flux. Its pore size range we can do 0.01, 0.08, can effectively remove suspended particles, most of the bacteria and large molecules of organic matter in water. Compared with the separation precision of Hydrodynamic membrane, there is no gap between us.

2. Membrane flux and anti-pollution

JX ultrafiltration membranes tend to have the same flux as Hydrodynamic membranes when treating the same water quality. This means that JX membranes can treat more water in the same amount of time, which improves the overall efficiency of the system. In addition, JX membranes are more resistant to contamination, which reduces the frequency of cleaning and maintenance, further reducing operating costs.

3. Service life and maintenance costs

JX membranes have a longer service life than Hydrogen membranes, thanks to their superior contamination and corrosion resistance. Longer service life means less frequent replacement and lower maintenance costs, which significantly reduces long-term operating costs.

Application Case Study

This European rubber plant originally used Hydrogen membranes for water treatment and liquid separation. However, as the production demand increased and the system aged, the Hydrodynamic membranes showed some shortcomings in terms of treatment efficiency and stability. After technical evaluation and market research, the plant decided to replace the Hydrotherm membranes with JX ultrafiltration membranes. After the replacement, the plant achieved significant improvements in the following areas:

1. Improvement in production efficiency

By using JX UF membranes, the plant's production line efficiency was significantly improved. the high flux characteristics of the JX membranes allowed for faster water treatment during the production process, reducing production downtime. Overall production efficiency has increased by more than 20%, significantly shortening product delivery cycles.

2. Reduced water treatment costs

The lower cleaning frequency and maintenance requirements of the JX membranes have resulted in a significant reduction in the operating costs of the water treatment system. After replacing the membranes, the plant found that the annual operating cost of the water treatment system was reduced by 15 per cent, further improving the overall economic efficiency.

3. Improved system stability and reliability

The stability and reliability of the JX ultrafiltration membrane in the system has been greatly improved. Its strong anti-pollution performance reduces the need for frequent cleaning of the membrane, enabling the system to maintain stable operation for a longer period of time.

Market Prospects of JX Ultrafiltration Membrane

With the increasing demand for industrial water treatment and the continuous advancement of technology, the JX ultrafiltration membrane has a promising application in the market. Its excellent performance and economy make it the preferred membrane separation product in many industries. Particularly in the rubber manufacturing, chemical, food and beverage industries, the use of JX UF membranes will lead to higher production efficiency and lower operating costs.

Conclusion

Overall, JX UF membranes have successfully replaced Hydrogen's branded membranes with their superior performance and cost-effectiveness, bringing significant improvements to the production system of the European rubber plant. This success story shows the importance of choosing the right membrane separation technology to improve production efficiency and reduce operating costs. For other industrial companies with similar needs, JX ultrafiltration membranes are certainly a cost-effective option to consider.
