GH Series
Industrial Ultrafiltration Elements – TFM* 2,500 MWCO
The G-Series family of proprietary thin-film ultrafiltra-
tion membrane elements is characterized by a molec-
ular weight cutoff of 2,500 on polyethylene glycol and
a smooth, fouling resistant membrane surface.
GH Elements are used for surface water pretreatment,
color/TOC reduction, and chemical purification.

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