Pall PMM metal membrane media combine the best qualities of Pall’s PSS and Rigimesh media by incorporating a thin matrix of ultra-fine stainless steel powders sintered within the pore structures of fine sintered stainless steel woven wire mesh. This combination of technologies enables production of highly permeable metal membranes with greater strength and finer grades than either method alone. PMM media can be pleated to form double open-ended (DOE) MBS1000 style membrane filter cartridges with high area and fine ratings making it an excellent choice for steam service and other fine solids recovery/removal applications in both liquid and gas applications.
