Ceramic tubular membrane modules are used to filter streams of high dissolved or high suspended solids, e.g. oily wastewater treatment. They usually consist of two tubes. The inner tube is the membrane tube and the outer tube which is the shell.
The ceramic-based inner tubes are packed into a long PVC housing. The filtering works through tangential crossflow. The feed stream goes across the length of the membrane tube and is filtered out into the outer shell.
