Sustainable Ceramic UF for Paper Pulp Recovery in Tissue Manufacturing

Ceramic-based filtration provides an effective and sustainable solution for recovering paper pulp in tissue paper manufacturing. 

Challenge

Conventional polymeric UF membranes were unable to withstand these harsh operating conditions, making long-term operation unsustainable.

Solution

High temperature and chemical resistance were essential requirements, as the system needed to capture pulp flocs down to 0.5 microns.

Results & Benefits

With its superior temperature tolerance and robust submerged configuration designed for high solids, the CERAFILTEC SUF system is ideally suited for reliable pulp recovery. Unlike polymeric alternatives that often require membrane replacement every 1–2 years, ceramic UF enables durable, efficient, and cost-effective pulp recovery for the paper processing industry.
