For cleaning special organic fibres are deployed in ultra and microfiltration for water and wastewater treatment. The basic principal of this filtration is the use of porous, organic hollow-fibre membranes with microscopic pores as a filter medium. The fibres have an outside diameter of less than 1 mm. In order to maintain an adequate surface area and a constant flow, hundreds of fibres are bundled together and wound around a module. Regular chemical cleaning can be eliminated. Advantages oft he new membranes are:
