The membrane behind the performance.
At the heart of every BLUE FOOT membrane system is our IPC® ultrafiltration membrane. Two PVDF membrane layers are integrated into a robust 3D woven textile support, combining mechanical strength with effective backwashability for demanding wastewater applications.
One integrated structure. Built to last.
Our IPC® membrane is built around a non-compressible 3D woven textile support, with two ultrafiltration layers cast directly into its structure. The result is one integrated membrane sheet, designed for mechanical stability and effective backwashing.
No glued or welded layers
The integrated construction avoids the bonded interfaces found in conventional membrane designs.
Integrated permeate channels
The 3D woven textile creates internal channels for permeate collection and distribution.
Mechanical stability
The non-compressible support helps maintain the membrane's structural integrity under repeated pressure changes.
Effective backwashing. Reliable performance.
The robust, integrated structure of IPC® membranes enables true permeate backwashing, a key difference from conventional flat-sheet membrane designs.
By reversing the flow through the membrane, clean permeate helps remove accumulated foulants and restore permeability. This supports stable filtration performance, reduces reliance on chemical cleaning and gives operators greater control over membrane fouling, even in demanding wastewater conditions.
Forward filtration
Wastewater is filtered through the membrane, while suspended solids are retained on its surface.
Permeate backwash
Clean permeate flows back through the membrane, helping remove accumulated foulants and restore filtration performance.
Proven performance in demanding MBR applications.
Designed for membrane bioreactor (MBR) applications, our IPC® ultrafiltration membranes combine robust construction with rigorous quality testing to support reliable solids separation and consistent filtration performance.
Ultrafiltration pore size
Fine solids separation through PVDF ultrafiltration layers.
Pressure tested
Every membrane sheet undergoes a 40-second pressure test.
Quality controlled
Every membrane sheet and completed module is tested.
Pressure cycles validated
Durability demonstrated through repeated pressure cycling.
From membrane to modular system.
The IPC® membrane is the foundation. Our modular technology brings individual membrane sheets together into modules, stacks and multistack configurations, designed to meet different treatment capacities and project requirements.
