The exceptional fouling resistance of Cempuro membranes stems from several key factors that contribute to their longevity and reliability during use:

First, they utilize a homogeneous material whose filtration capacity is based solely on its physical structure. This is crucial because we do not use additional hydrophilic or antifouling coatings, which could degrade with repeated washing and prolonged use. Silicon carbide, the basic material of the membranes, is one of the hardest known minerals. It retains its original form and shape created during the manufacturing process for decades, guaranteeing durability and consistent filtration properties.

An additional advantage is that the silicon carbide membrane does not react biochemically with substances present in the filtered medium. This significantly inhibits the formation of biofilm, which could reduce the efficiency of the entire filtration system. This feature is an important element of the membranes' resistance to biological processes, which in other filtration systems may lead to the need for more frequent cleaning and servicing.

The high chemical resistance of Cempuro membranes allows for the use of strong and effective chemicals during periodic cleaning. This means that these membranes can be repeatedly restored to near-factory condition without fear of degrading their performance or shortening their service life. This level of regeneration is unique compared to other technologies, where aggressive cleaning agents could damage more delicate materials.

Additionally, backwashing, which occurs in a countercurrent flow, is a cost-effective and highly effective method for cleaning membranes of contaminants that accumulate during operation. This technique allows for the rapid removal of accumulated particles, extending the intervals between more advanced chemical cleaning cycles.

Last but not least, operation under negative pressure creates a loose filter cake formed from separated contaminants. As a result, the cake does not adhere strongly to the membrane surface, allowing for easier removal without the need for significant force. This ensures a rapid cleaning process and minimizes membrane wear, further extending their service life and providing cost-effective system operation.
