Well basically, it is highly related to the flux and selectivity that you are looking for. On the industrial scale, we usually have polyester as support in order to withstand high pressure. Let's say 150-250 um is the normal range of wet thickness.
Killian Barton yes sir. In the context of filtration / fouling tests.
Mohammadamin Esmaeili Thank you for answering, sir! Just curious about the pressure tests that the membrane can hold (depending on the thickness). Ok, thanks a lot!
Polysulfone membranes are applied in nanofiltration and reverse osmosis processes which operate at high pressures of ca. >10 bar relative to ultra or microfiltration processes. The dimensions quoted above are a reliable ball park figure and the membrane will be mounted on support material so that the membrane is able to withstand the high operating pressure. What kind of fouling are you investigating?
