Product Description
Flexible Ultrafiltration Retrofit Solution for Existing Water Treatment Plants
The DuPont™ IntegraTec™ XP 55 UXA with Type I End Cap Assembly is an open-platform ultrafiltration module designed to modernize existing water treatment plants. It provides a practical replacement and retrofit solution for industrial utility water treatment, industrial wastewater reuse, municipal wastewater filtration, and reverse osmosis pretreatment applications.
Built around DuPont’s proven XP™ hydrophilic PVDF hollow-fiber membrane technology, the module combines reliable contaminant removal with excellent filtration permeability. Its 0.03 μm nominal pore size supports high removal of colloidal particles and strong log reduction of bacteria and viruses, helping improve filtrate quality and protect downstream treatment processes.
Superior resistance to fouling and chlorine helps maintain stable performance under demanding feedwater and cleaning conditions. The membrane’s hydrophilic properties also promote effective wetting and easier cleaning, supporting dependable long-term operation in industrial and municipal water treatment environments.
Engineered for Retrofit Flexibility and Higher Productivity
The IntegraTec™ XP 55 UXA platform is available with multiple end-cap configurations to accommodate different existing plant layouts. The Type I end-cap assembly provides a flexible connection option for upgrading legacy filtration systems while reducing the need for extensive modifications to existing infrastructure.
With 55 m² (592 ft²) of active membrane area, the module is designed to maximize filtration productivity within a compact 165 mm (6.5 in) diameter format. Its outside-in, pressurized dead-end configuration supports efficient solids removal, while high tolerance to air scouring promotes effective backwashing and high operating recovery.
An optimized maintenance-cleaning protocol can help reduce chemical consumption and simplify routine membrane care. Robust wetted materials, straightforward installation, and low maintenance requirements make the XP 55 UXA Type I a dependable choice for plant upgrades, replacement projects, and capacity optimization.
