Scinor SMT600-P80 – Pressurized Ultrafiltration Module

Name: Scinor SMT600-P80 Pressurized Ultrafiltration Module
Brand: Scinor

Description

Overview

The Scinor SMT600-P80 is a pressurized hollow-fiber ultrafiltration module from the Scinor SMT600 series. It uses PVDF membranes produced by Thermally Induced Phase Separation (TIPS) and provides 80 m² of effective membrane area per module, which makes it suitable as a building block for large water treatment plants.

The module operates outside-in, in dead-end or cross-flow mode depending on the application, and is cleaned by backwash, air scour, maintenance clean and clean-in-place (CIP). Scinor states that the SMT600-P80 is available as a retrofit for installations built around other major membrane suppliers’ modules. It is used for potable water, wastewater reuse, desalination pretreatment and industrial water.

How the SMT600-P80 Ultrafiltration Module Works

In an outside-in pressurized module, feed water fills the shell side around thousands of hollow fibers. The applied pressure drives water through the fiber wall into the fiber lumen, while particles, colloids, bacteria and most suspended solids larger than the membrane pores are retained on the outer surface. Filtrate is collected from the fiber lumens at the module head. In dead-end mode all feed water passes through the membrane and the retained solids are removed periodically; in cross-flow mode part of the feed is circulated along the fiber surface to limit the build-up of solids, which suits feed water with a higher solids load.

Over each filtration cycle the solids layer increases the transmembrane pressure (TMP). The cycle ends with a backwash, in which filtrate is pushed back through the fibers from the inside, often combined with air scour on the shell side to shake loose deposits. Maintenance cleans with a low concentration of chemical, and full clean-in-place with acid and alkaline or oxidising solutions, restore permeability when backwashing alone is no longer enough. The wide pH and hypochlorite tolerance of TIPS PVDF fibers is what makes these chemical cleans possible without damaging the membrane.

SMT600-P80 Selection & Design Notes

Feed water quality: turbidity, suspended solids, organic load, oil and grease and temperature determine the design flux and cleaning frequency. Seawater intakes affected by algal blooms need a more conservative design.
Pre-screening: a fine strainer upstream of the rack protects the fibers from abrasive or sharp particles.
Number of modules: plant capacity divided by the design flux and the 80 m² area per module gives the active module count; add allowance for backwash downtime and for one train out of service during cleaning.
Retrofit: when replacing modules from another supplier, compare overall length, port positions and connection type with the existing rack before ordering.
Integrity: plan a regular pressure-decay or similar integrity test to detect broken fibers, especially where the filtrate feeds reverse osmosis or drinking water.

Installation & Maintenance

New modules are usually shipped wet with a preservation solution; flush them to drain before putting the filtrate into service, and keep the fibers wet at all times once they are installed. Avoid water hammer and pressure surges when starting pumps and opening valves, and keep feed, backwash and air pressures inside the limits in the specification table. Trend TMP, flux and filtrate turbidity: a steady rise in TMP after cleaning points to irreversible fouling or an undersized pretreatment step.

Typical Applications in Oman & the GCC

Ultrafiltration is widely used ahead of seawater reverse osmosis in the region, where it gives a more stable RO feed than conventional media filtration during periods of poor intake water. It is also used for treated sewage effluent reuse, produced water polishing and industrial process water.

About brand

Scinor is a Chinese manufacturer of membrane filtration products, established in 2002 as Beijing Scinor Membrane Technology. It specialises in PVDF hollow fibre ultrafiltration membranes made by thermally induced phase separation (TIPS). Its SMT600 modules are used for drinking water, wastewater reuse and membrane bioreactors.

Seven Star LLC lists Scinor SMT600 ultrafiltration modules in both pressurized and submerged form and supplies them by exact module code to water treatment plants and industrial users in Oman and neighboring countries.

Scinor company profile

Founded	2002, Beijing, China
Technology	TIPS PVDF hollow fibre membranes
Pore size	About 0.1 µm (UF)
Applications	Drinking water, wastewater reuse, MBR

Scinor SMT600 modules listed here

Several module types are on this page, and three are described here. The SMT600-P40 and SMT600-P80 are pressurized ultrafiltration modules that sit in a rack and are fed by a pump. The SMT600-S60 is a submerged module that hangs in an open tank and works under suction. The letter after SMT600 tells you the configuration, so P and S modules are not interchangeable on the same skid.

Where Scinor membranes are used

The manufacturer serves industrial, desalination, municipal and wastewater treatment applications. Typical duties are pretreatment ahead of reverse osmosis, surface water clarification and wastewater reuse, which are common needs across the GCC.
