What are the advantages of ceramic membranes in the field of water supply?

In the field of municipal water supply, ceramic membrane technology has been proven to operate stably for a long time, with high effluent quality and not affected by fluctuations in raw water quality. For example, in Japan, over 118 water plants have applied ceramic membrane technology, with the largest plant having a daily processing capacity of 170000 tons and 30 years of successful operation experience. The Caicuo Port Water Plant in Singapore also adopts ceramic membrane technology, with a scale of up to 180000 tons per day. These cases demonstrate that ceramic membranes not only provide high-quality drinking water, but also maintain stability and efficiency in large-scale applications.

In the fields of rural water supply and secondary water supply, ceramic membranes have also demonstrated their superiority. In recent years, China has vigorously promoted the rural drinking water standard raising campaign, using ceramic membrane technology to achieve homogeneous drinking water standards in urban and rural areas, allowing farmers to drink healthy water. Ceramic membranes are particularly suitable for dispersed water supply needs, and can address issues such as high turbidity, organic pollution, and excessive iron and manganese, ensuring the safety and reliability of water supply.

Ceramic membranes also have significant anti pollution properties and lower maintenance costs. After acid and alkali washing, the clogged ceramic membrane can restore flux, greatly reducing operation and maintenance costs. Compared to organic membranes, ceramic membranes have better hydrophilicity and higher flux, which gives them significant advantages in the fields of surface water and reclaimed water treatment.
