Toray UF Membranes for Water Treatment
Select Toray HFU or HSU UF membranes from feedwater data, turbidity targets, flow, flux, backwash, cleaning, and verified operating conditions in Indonesia.
Select Toray UF membranes from solids loading, flow, and cleaning duty
A Toray HFU or HSU ultrafiltration membrane should be selected from feedwater analysis, turbidity and microorganism targets, design flow, flux, recovery, backwash frequency, chemical cleaning, pressure, and temperature. Its nominal 0.01-micron pore size helps retain suspended solids and microorganisms, but UF does not replace RO when dissolved-salt reduction is required.
PT Watermart Perkasa, operating at water.co.id, supplies Toray UF membranes and water-treatment components in Indonesia. For an initial review, send the water-test results, flow profile, filtrate-quality target, available space, drain, instrumentation, and backwash and cleaning strategy.
Data needed to select HFU or HSU modules
| Design question | Data needed | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| What filtrate flow is required? | Average and peak flow, operating hours, and backwash time | Establishes working-module count and reserve |
| How difficult is the feed? | Turbidity, TSS, microbiology, organics, temperature, and seasonal variation | Informs pretreatment, initial flux, and cleaning |
| How will modules be cleaned? | Backwash water, air scour if used, chemical, concentration, pH, and contact time within Toray data | Keeps materials and procedures within product limits |
| What proves acceptance? | Flux, transmembrane pressure, filtrate turbidity, integrity check, and sampling results | Creates a commissioning baseline and operating alarms |
HFU-B2315AN
HFU-B2315AN is a pressurised PVDF hollow-fibre UF module. Evaluate it from feed conditions, flow direction, target flux, backwash duty, chemical cleaning, connections, and the limits in the applicable datasheet.
HFU-1020AN and HFU-2020AN
Compare these models by membrane area, module configuration, design flow, pressure drop, footprint, and skid support. Do not establish module count from nominal flow alone; include backwash time, cleaning time, and a one-module-under-service case if supply cannot stop.
HSU-1515
Check HSU-1515 against operating mode, feed quality, filtrate target, and the backwash and cleaning procedures in Toray documentation. Confirm that pipework, pumps, valves, and instrumentation support those procedures.
Toray ultrafiltration membrane FAQ
When is UF more suitable than RO?
Consider UF when the main targets are suspended solids, turbidity, and microorganisms within the product’s performance limits, while dissolved salts do not need reduction. If testing shows that TDS or dissolved ions must be lowered, evaluate Toray brackish-water RO membranes.
Does a 0.01-micron pore rating make water immediately ready to drink?
No. A membrane rating is not proof of drinking-water safety by itself. The system requires suitable pretreatment, integrity testing, commissioning, sanitation, operating records, representative sampling, and testing against applicable Indonesian drinking-water requirements.
Which operating changes require investigation?
Rising transmembrane pressure, falling normalised flux, more frequent backwash, changed filtrate turbidity, or a failed integrity check should be investigated. Check feed quality, valves, pumps, instruments, cleaning, and module condition before assigning a cause.
