When Alfa Laval wanted a material for the plate and frame modules of its cross-flow membrane filtration systems, it chose unfilled Victrex Peek from Victrex USA, Greenville, S.C. This high-performance linear aromatic semicrystalline polymer combines the ease of thermoplastic processing with all the required properties to offer a single solution for the vast majority of filtration applications.

Available in three different heights for different viscosities, the plate and frame modules are equipped with built-in membranes of appropriate porosity ...
