Working Principle

Three steps to achieve "Eliminating Impurities and maintaining Efficiency"

The system takes ultrafiltration membranes (UF) or microfiltration membranes (MF) as the core separation medium (the membrane pore size is usually between 0.001 and 1μm, and can be flexibly selected based on the molecular differences of impurities and active ingredients), combined with the "pressure-driven + cross-flow filtration" process. The entire process is purely physical operation without any chemical additives. The specific process is as follows:

1. Pressure drive: 

2. Molecular-level selective retention: 

Cross-flow anti-clogging ensures efficiency:

With a certain pressure (usually ≤0.7 MPa; for example, the working pressure of the UF series system from Henan Xihe Fluid Technology is ≤0.7 MPa) as the driving force, the material to be treated (such as traditional Chinese medicine extracts and fermentation broths) is transported into the membrane module;

When the material flows over the membrane surface, the "precise sieve holes" of the membrane come into play - small molecule active ingredients (such as alkaloids in traditional Chinese medicine and amino acids in food) pass through the membrane smoothly due to their size being smaller than the pore size, forming a "permeate" (i.e., the purified target material). However, macromolecular impurities (such as plant proteins, tannins, bacteria, and colloidal particles) are firmly retained due to the size of the superpores or repulsion by the surface charge of the membrane, forming a "concentrated liquid" (which can be further processed or discarded later).

By adopting the "cross-flow filtration" mode (where the material flows at high speed along the membrane surface), rather than the traditional "dead-end filtration", it can not only reduce the accumulation of impurities on the membrane surface through material flushing, avoiding membrane clogging, but also extend the membrane cleaning cycle, ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the system.

Core Advantages

Solving 4 Pain Points of Traditional Impurity Removal:

Compared with traditional impurity removal methods such as plate-and-frame filtration, centrifugal separation, and diatomite filtration, the advantages of the Membrane Refining and Impurity Removal System focus on four dimensions: "precision, active ingredient preservation, stability, and compliance", which accurately meet the needs of high-purity scenarios:

Advantage Category	Specific Performance	Advantage Over Traditional Processes
High Impurity Removal Precision & Strong Stability	It can retain tiny impurities (such as nanoscale colloids and bacteria) with a size of 0.001-1 μm, with an impurity removal rate of over 99%; the purified material has high clarity, no turbidity or sedimentation even after long-term storage, avoiding the "temporary clarity" issue of traditional processes.	Traditional filtration can only remove large-particle impurities; fine colloids and soluble proteins are easily retained, leading to material deterioration and decreased clarity during storage.
Preserves Active Ingredients Without Damage	The entire process is physical separation at room temperature (operating temperature: 5-45℃/75℃), no heating is required (avoiding high-temperature damage to heat-sensitive components such as active enzymes in traditional Chinese medicine and antibiotic activity), and no chemical agents are added (preventing component oxidation or contamination).	Traditional processes that use heating for impurity removal tend to damage nutrients/medicinal effects; chemical flocculants may introduce secondary pollution, affecting product safety.
Automated Operation & Low Maintenance Cost	It supports PLC full-automatic control and can operate unattended after parameter setting; membrane elements can be repeatedly cleaned and regenerated (with a service life of 2-3 years) and support online CIP cleaning, no manual disassembly is needed, reducing maintenance labor.	Traditional processes require frequent replacement of filter media (such as diatomite and filter cloth), with high manual operation intensity, complex cleaning, and long downtime.
Strong Compliance & Adaptability to High-Demand Industries	Parts in contact with materials (membrane modules, pipelines) are made of 304/316L stainless steel or food-grade polymer materials, complying with strict standards such as GMP (pharmaceutical production) and SC (food production).	Traditional filtration equipment may have issues such as material corrosion resistance and easy bacterial growth, making it difficult to meet the compliance requirements of pharmaceutical and high-end food industries.

In short, the Membrane Refining and Impurity Removal System is like a "molecular-level sieve" tailored for materials—it can "sift out" all harmful impurities while "retaining" every active ingredient. It is an indispensable core equipment in the field of modern high-precision purification and a key technology for promoting quality upgrading in the pharmaceutical, food, and other industries.
