GE Series
Industrial Ultrafiltration Elements – TFM* 1,000 MWCO
The G-Series GE family of proprietary thin-film ultra-
filtration membrane elements is characterized by a
molecular weight cutoff of 1,000 on polyethylene
glycol and a smooth, fouling resistant membrane
surface.
GE Elements are used for surface water pretreat-
ment, color/TOC reduction, and chemical purifica-
tion.

1 These elements are dried and bagged before shipping.
2 Internal diameter unless specified OD (outside diameter).
3 The element diameter (dimension C) is designed for optimum performance in GE
pressure vessels. Other pressure vessel dimension and tolerance may result in
excessive bypass and loss of capacity.
