CRYSTAR Filtration Technology

Description:
Crystar FT dead-end membranes are highly
porous, highly pure, recrystallized silicon carbide
(RSiC) filters for liquid filtration. They are certified
for swimming pool and drinking water according to
USA regulation NSF61/50. RSiC is characterized by
high chemical stability and excellent trade-off
between retention efficiency and permeate flux.
Crystar FT HiFlo can replace traditional technologies such as sand, bag and cartridge filters
with significant benefits in term of compactness, filtrate quality, maintenance and OPEX.
Examples of applications:
 Swimming pools
 Cooling water
 Potable water
