INTERNAL QUALITY CONTROL

Verified Internal Testing

Without relying on third-party certifications, Micropore has built a rigorous internal QC infrastructure. Every membrane batch goes through four mandatory validation gates before leaving the facility.

Quality Protocol Status
100% Batch Coverage
Every production lot tested. No sampling shortcuts. Lot release certificates issued for all shipments.
01

Bubble Point Test

Every membrane module undergoes bubble point integrity testing to verify maximum pore size and detect any defects or pinholes before assembly. No module is passed without a confirmed bubble point reading above the minimum threshold.

Verified Internal Testing
02

Flux Performance Testing

Controlled clean-water flux testing at defined TMP values is performed on representative fibers from each production batch. Flux curves are plotted and compared against internal acceptance benchmarks before lot release.

Verified Internal Testing
03

Tensile Strength Testing

Mechanical integrity is validated through fiber-pull tensile tests on sampled fibers per batch. Minimum break force must exceed 120 N per fiber. Sub-standard batches are quarantined and reprocessed — not shipped.

Verified Internal Testing
04

Chemical Validation

Membrane coupons are subjected to accelerated chemical soak tests in NaOCl, citric acid, and caustic solutions at operational concentrations. Pre- and post-soak flux retention must meet minimum acceptance criteria for each chemical class.

ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITMENT

Cleaner Water.
Lower Footprint.
Lasting Impact.

MBR technology is inherently sustainable. At Micropore, we design every membrane and every process step to maximize environmental benefit — from the energy consumed in your plant to the materials we use in production.

Low-Energy Operation PVDF Recyclable High-Volume Reuse
Reduced Energy Use

Low-pressure submerged operation minimizes blower and pump power demand — reducing both operational costs and the carbon footprint of every cubic metre treated.

Extended Membrane Lifespan

Durable PVDF hollow fibers and flat sheets are engineered for long service intervals, directly reducing membrane replacement waste sent to landfill.

Water Reuse Empowered

MBR effluent quality enables safe, high-volume reuse for irrigation, industrial cooling, and process water — reducing freshwater abstraction for communities and industries.

Eco-Conscious Manufacturing

Built using recyclable PVDF materials with a production process designed to minimise solvent usage, water waste, and energy consumption at our manufacturing facility.
