Sanitary Ultrafiltration Spiral-Wound Element
PX (PAN 400kDa)
Synder Filtration’s Ultrafiltration Elements offer an
optimal combination of both flux and rejection in a
comprehensive range of MWCO’s.

to learn more about our complete line of membrane
products and services.
PX, along with PY and PZ, are all polyacrylonitrile (PAN) based ultrafiltration membrane originally developed for oil removal in wastewater treatment. PX has the largest pore size of the three PAN membranes, with a molecular weight cut-off of 400kDa. In a recent emulsified oil case study, PX demonstrated its ability to remove >99% of oil while maintaining a steady state flux, comparable to that of a leading competitor. The additional hydrophilicity makes it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications requiring the removal of oils for discharge or reuse.
STANDARD SERIES BENEFITS
- Widest range of UF MWCO’s available
- Good resistance to pH and temperature
- High resistance to fouling
- Customizable dimensions for unique housings
COMMON APPLICATIONS
- Corn wet milling
- Dairy stream clarification

TECHNICAL NOTES
For element sizes not listed, please call or email Synder Filtration for details. We can design an element to fit your exact needs -just specify the element outer diameter (OD) or vessel/housing inner diameter (ID), element inner diameter (ID), and length. Elements are also available with or without a controlled bypass tail. Additional feed spacers are also available. Trials should be conducted to determine optimal application conditions.
