TIPS Ultrafiltration Membrane

Most membranes use a process called NIPS. NIPS uses chemicals to create holes in the membrane. TIPS stands for thermally induced phase separation. It uses temperature changes to create holes. This product comes out much stronger. It is not afraid of acid or bleach. It can handle many chemical cleanings without breaking down. The material is PVDF. The form is column type. This combination gives you a membrane that can take a beating and still produce clean water day after day.

Imagine a sponge and a steel wool pad. A NIPS membrane has a structure like a sponge. It is soft and tears easily. A TIPS ultrafiltration membrane has a structure like steel wool. The pieces lock together in a strong way. You can pull on steel wool all day and it does not come apart. That is how strong TIPS membranes are. So when do you need TIPS? You need it for very dirty water. You need it for water that needs frequent chemical cleaning. You need it when you want a membrane that lasts for many years. It costs more than NIPS, but it is worth it for tough jobs.
