Flat Sheet-120
The NPC-F-120 Flat Sheet Ceramic Membrane, developed by Nano Palayesh Ceram (NPC), is a plate-type ceramic membrane designed for vacuum-driven and low-pressure filtration processes. Installed in frame modules, the flat sheet structure allows filtrate to be drawn perpendicularly, typically operating in an outside-in flow configuration.
Manufactured from high-performance ceramic materials such as Zirconia, Alumina, and Silicon Carbide, this membrane offers excellent chemical, thermal, and mechanical stability. Its design supports dead-end and submerged filtration setups, making it suitable for industrial applications requiring reliable performance, easy maintenance, and long service life.
