M37模块
The Alfa Laval module M37 is specially designed for ultrafiltration (UF) and microfiltration (MF) of high viscosity products (50-250 cP) and fermentation broths. The module is particularly suited for use in industries such as biotech and pharma, food and beverages as well as pulp and paper
Improved products and processes
Ultrafiltration (UF) is unique in that it allows liquids to be separated, concentrated and purified, all at the same time. Water and low molecular-weight substances pass through the membrane whilst high molecular-weight substances are rejected.
The composite structure of our microfiltration (MF) and ultrafiltration (UF) membranes, consisting of a support layer for mechanical strength and a thinner selective layer for the separation, combines the best of two worlds: High mechanical strength and a high capacity/flux.
Plate-and-frame module, M37
The Alfa Laval plate-and-frame M37 module is our high-concentration module for liquids of extremely high viscosity. Many products are non-Newtonian so tend to thin as flow velocity is increased. This effect is fully utilized in the extraordinary design of the thin-channel system of the module M37, making the modules usable for products untreatable by most other UF systems.
The high-concentration Alfa Laval module M37 is developed to meet the future demands for optimized flow dynamics, low energy consumption and low-pressure operation. It is available with membrane area sizes up to 27 m² and it can operate at temperatures up to 80°C, pressures up to 15 bar and pH between 1 and 14. It can be equipped with the entire range of flat sheet ultrafiltration and microfiltration membranes available from Alfa Laval.
Alfa Laval PilotUnit Combi-50 UF/MF
The Alfa Laval PilotUnit Combi-50 UF/MF is a handy and versatile pilot-scale membrane system comprising an Alfa Laval plate-and-frame module of the type M37 or M38. It is a complete system with necessary pump, valves, tank etc. which needs only power supply, compressed air, water and feed product to operate.

运行原理
阿法拉伐的板框式模块设计有横跨膜表面的开放通道。进料流/滞留物流过这些开放通道。
膜本身由带有许多槽的中空板支撑，这些槽可收集渗透液，并通过渗透液收集管从模块中排出。
v板框式模块在锁环或锁条的帮助下使用膜本身将进料/滞留物密封，防止其混入渗透通道。这也避免了板组（plate stack）本身的任何泄漏风险。
由于阿法拉伐板框式模块的设计，让客户可以更换单个膜而不影响模块的其他膜。
