Product catalog summary
Introduction
The X-Flow HFS 60 Silica tight ultrafiltration membranes are designed for robust performance in thermal power plants, effectively removing colloidal silica to protect high-pressure boilers from scale deposits, thus maximizing plant performance and preventing turbine failure.
Specifications
The HFS 60 Silica membranes have a membrane area of 60 m² (645 ft²), a diameter of 0.8 mm (31 mil), and a molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) of 10,000. They achieve 99.8% removal of colloidal silica, with a Silt Density Index (SDI) of less than 2.0 and turbidity of less than 0.1 NTU.
Advantages and Benefits
  • Maximized boiler efficiency and reduced water losses.
  • Backwashable ultrafiltration membrane with high chemical resistance.
  • Low energy consumption and fully automated operation with minimal maintenance.
  • Pressurized system with no operator exposure to fumes or aerosols.
  • Direct coagulation with inorganic coagulants for high removal of organics and phosphate.
Installation Options
Upstream Installation: Guarantees optimum pretreatment by removing turbidity, microbiology, and up to 99.8% of colloidal silica, reducing fouling potential on reverse osmosis membranes.
Downstream Installation: Ensures removal of 99.8% of non-ionic silica, allowing operation at elevated pressures and eliminating the need for intermediate storage tanks.
Applications
The HFS 60 Silica membranes are suitable for potable water, process water, desalination pre-treatment, municipal and industrial wastewater, and wine filtration.

silica challenge in surface water Silica is a chemical compound that is the main constituent of most of the Earth’s rocks. Silica occurs naturally in crystalline forms, in a cryptocrystalline form and in an amorphous form. It is also the main chemical compound in sand and is used to make glass, concrete, and other materials. Because of its abundance in the Earth’s rocks, silica occurs in different states in most natural waters as well. Particulate silica (sand particles) can be removed by conventional pre-treatment and reactive silica (ionized) can be removed by ion exchange and/or reverse osmosis...
