Spiral wound membranes deliver exceptional versatility, seamlessly integrating to both process separation and wastewater treatment applications.

Spiral wound membranes are a type of separation membrane that utilize a semi-permeable barrier to achieve selective filtration. These membranes are constructed with several key components: a feed spacer, a permeate spacer, and a permeate tube. The membrane is wrapped around the central permeate tube in a spiral configuration. They come in various sizes, commonly including 1812, 2540, 4040, and 8040, each suited to different applications and flow requirements.

The 1812 Spiral Wound Membrane measures 12 inches in length and has a diameter of 1.8 inches. The 2540 Spiral Wound Membrane measures 40 inches in length with a diameter of 2.5 inches. This specification is primarily used for pilot testing to assess the viability of new applications. It is also used in localized settings, such as small desalination units and pure water production for laboratory use.

The 8040 Spiral Wound Membrane measures 40 inches in length with a diameter of 8 inches. The 4040 Spiral Wound Membrane measures 40 inches in a length with a diameter of 4 inches. This specification is widely used size in many industrial applications, with pressure vessels housing multiple membranes.

A broad selection of spiral wound membranes for Microfiltration (MF), Ultrafiltration (UF), Nanofiltration (NF), and Reverse Osmosis (RO) enables efficient recovery, purification, process separation, and concentration of products across industries such as food and beverage, biopharmaceuticals, chemical and metallurgy, water and waste water industry. These membranes are also suitable for water recovery applications. Various combinations of membrane materials, diameters, lengths, and spacers ensure compatibility with all cross-flow membrane filtration processes.

Spiral Wound Ultrafiltration Membrane
Suntar Spiral Wound Ultrafiltration (UF) membranes are the preferred choice in the food and beverage, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical industries, where they facilitate product recovery, purification, process separation, and concentration. Their versatility makes UF membranes one of our most adaptable products. We offer a comprehensive range of UF membranes with varying characteristics and properties to meet diverse application needs.
spiral-portfolio-3
Spiral Wound Nanofiltration Membrane
Suntar Spiral Wound Nanofiltration Membrane are used to remove multivalent ions, large molecules and salts from water. They are also used in zero liquid discharge systems for salt separation (divalent vs. monovalent ions). At times, NF membranes can also be used for hardness removal. Suntar offers NF membranes with a wide molecular weight cutoff range of 150 Da to 1000 Da. Apart from water applications, these membranes are also used for decolourisation, impurity removal and product separation.
spiral-portfolio-4
Spiral Wound Reverse Osmosis Membrane
Suntar Spiral Wound Reverse Osmosis Membranes are primarily used for desalination, water treatment and purification. They are used to remove a wide range of impurities such as salts, inorganic as well organic substances. They can also be used for concentration of various feed streams in process separation applications.

Most Frequently Asked Quesiton

When should spiral wound membranes be used over other types?
Suntar’s spiral wound MF and UF membranes are typically used in non-water applications, including the extraction, purification, and concentration of various biopharmaceutical, food and beverage, and chemical products. Suntar’s spiral wound NF and RO membranes are used in both water and non-water applications .

Yes, we have worked with F&B, Pharma and Biotech companies for process applications which require sanitary grade membranes and systems and also provided pure water solutions for beverage companies as well.

The membranes are typically made from Polyethersulfone, Polysulfone, Polyamide. 

The feed stream passes through the membrane layers, where unwanted solutes are rejected, and purified product (permeate) flows into the central collection tube.

Performance is influenced by factors such as:

  • Membrane type (RO, NF, UF, MF)
  • Operating pressure and temperature
  • Feed water composition and fouling potential
  • Recovery rate

Pre-treatment (e.g., filtration, antiscalants), regular cleaning (CIP), and operating within design limits can minimize fouling issues like scaling, biofouling, or particulate fouling.
