Sustainable Ceramic UF for Paper Pulp Recovery in Tissue Manufacturing
Project overview
Ceramic-based filtration provides an effective and sustainable solution for recovering paper pulp in tissue paper manufacturing.
Challenge
Conventional polymeric UF membranes were unable to withstand these harsh operating conditions, making long-term operation unsustainable.
Solution
High temperature and chemical resistance were essential requirements, as the system needed to capture pulp flocs down to 0.5 microns.
Results & Benefits
With its superior temperature tolerance and robust submerged configuration designed for high solids, the CERAFILTEC SUF system is ideally suited for reliable pulp recovery. Unlike polymeric alternatives that often require membrane replacement every 1–2 years, ceramic UF enables durable, efficient, and cost-effective pulp recovery for the paper processing industry.
