Why iSep?

A New Hybrid
iSep is the only UF membrane module that incorporates the rugged design of a spiral-wound membrane with the backflushing and aeration capabilities of a hollow fiber system. Featuring the most effective aeration and efficient draining of any UF system, iSep is the ideal choice for UF treatment of feed streams with high and variable solids content.

DESIGN
iSep is a skid-mounted, cassette-based system that offers maximum flexibility, expandability, with greatly reduced capital and operating costs.  By incorporating the low pressure and air scouring features of a submerged system, with the operational ease of a skid mounted system, iSep redefines versatility and capability in water treatment.  The system's ability for frequent and efficient draining, concentration circulation, and cross-flow during CIP was previously unrealized in submerged configurations.  These capabilities allow for remarkable energy savings, decreased ecological footprint, and reduced capital and operating expenditures consistently experienced by our customers.

NO BROKEN FIBERS… GUARANTEED!
In the water and wastewater processes traditionally dominated by hollow fiber membranes, the iSep UF spiral wound membrane element is changing the game.  Effluent quality is intrinsically bound to membrane integrity and chiefly important when conducting pretreatment for Reverse Osmosis.  The rigid, durable iSep membrane element ensures that membrane integrity isn't compromised and thus produces unparalleled effluent quality compared to hollow fibers over the usable life of the membrane.
