Industrial Ultrafiltration Spiral-Wound Element:
MQ(PES 50kDa)
Synder Filtration’s Ultrafiltration Elements offer an optimal combination of both flux and rejection in a comprehensive range of MWCO’s. Contact us today to learn more about our complete line of membrane products and services.
MQ is another PES-based ultrafiltration membrane commonly used for specialty protein separation in the dairy industry and beverage clarification in the food & beverage industry. With a molecular weight cut-off of 50kDa, it lies between MK and LY and can be used for similar applications. Flat sheet, standard spiral-wound elements, and custom element configurations are available, as well as MAX versions, which offer additional resistance to high pH and high temperatures.
INDUSTRIAL 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
- Specialty protein separation
- Beverage 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.
