MYTEX H4L membrane modules
Robust. Modular. Easy to service.

Limited spaces and service areas which are difficult to access - these are just two major challenges that our customers and service team face every day. Experiences like that have prompted us to design units that are modular and particularly easy to service.

 

 

With the MYTEX H4L, we designed a new generation of flexible and robust membrane modules. As a plug-in design, it can be transported in a cost-saving way. At the same time, it can be installed and expanded very easily.

The newly developed base frame of the MYTEX H4L is very stable, yet lightweight and configurable to different sizes.

MYTEX modules are very safe to operate and they ensure a service-friendly process. One reason is optimized module design when it comes to hydraulic, with flow guiding plates for additional crossflow. 

The frameless design ensures optimal access to the system and prevents clogging and blockages - making cleaning and maintenance much easier.  
 

MYTEX membrane modules - Easy to handle and easy to assemble.

Thanks to the modular and plug-in design, no additional lifting gear is required for assembly. The complete module can be set up on site by hand. This makes it very easy to assemble - even in very limited spaces, such as on ships or in rooms that are difficult to access. As a completely assembled unit, it can be moved with a crane without any problems.

Structure and function

MYTEX H4L consists of two functional units: the permeate and the aeration system.

MYTEX BLOCKS are constructed similar to "LEGO® building blocks" and have permeate extractors at the corners. The self-supporting blocks are connected to each other by a plug-in system, so that no frame is required.

The crossflow aeration system is equipped with fine bubble aerators.

The water is drawn through the membrane by negative pressure. Depending on the pore size of the membrane, unwanted substances will be retained. The filtered water is collected in the membrane sheets and transported away via the pipelines.

In order to remove the fouling layer on the membrane sheets, air is blown in. Thus, an upward movement of the mixed liquor-air mixture is generated. It effectively cleans the surface of the membranes.

There are many good reasons for using MYTEX H4L membrane modules

Modular concept
We offer this modular system in a plug-in design. As a consequence, it contributes significantly to reducing transportation costs.

Easy installation
Variable in use and easy to install at the plant, all MYTEX BLOCKs can be flexibly configured in size.

Safe in operation
Safe in operation due to the hydraulically optimized module design - with flow guiding plates for additional crossflow.

Fast cleaning and maintenance
The frameless design allows very good accessibility, it prevents clogging and blockages and thus facilitates cleaning and maintenance.

Simple assembly
No special lifting equipment is required for installation, which also enables setup in very limited spaces, e.g. on ships and in rooms that are difficult to access.
 

MYTEX aeration system
Fine bubble aeration reduces the top layer

The substances retained on the membrane surface form a fouling layer. Since this process weakens the performance, it is necessary to monitor the thickness of the fouling layer. Crossflow aeration is used to remove or to minimize the fouling layer.
A consistent fine bubble aeration over the entire area induces a circulation flow. This flow is going upward in the module and going downward outside the module.  The upward flow and the air bubbles generate a shear stress on the membrane surface. This reduces or completely removes the fouling layer.
 

Depending on the application, aeration is intermittent or permanent. The negative pressure on the filtrate side draws the water to be filtered through the membrane. In the process, the membrane - for example as an ultrafiltration membrane - retains colloidally dissolved substances, solids, viruses and bacteria. The water as well as dissolved components pass through the membrane and gather in the drainage layer of the membrane pocket. They are led into the filtrate line system of the membrane module via the suction points on the membrane block. Then, they are collected and transferred to the piping header system.

The filtration design depends on your specific requirements, either with or without backwash, pressure driven or by gravity.

We kindly ask you to contact us about any other options for the design of a filtration line.

SAFEGUARD®
