U/F Systems
An thy has over 10 years of experience as a reputable supplier of ultrafiltration systems designed to reliably remove suspended solids, turbidity, bacteria, pathogens and viruses from water. trust. These systems are built with cost savings in mind, are compact and capable of allowing for greater congestion reduction and solid waste disposal. The UF membrane ensures maximum filtration performance with high throughput, including system chemical resistance and high temperature resistance.
How does an ultrafiltration (UF) system work?
Ultrafiltration (UF) systems have diverse membranes in which hydrostatic pressure pushes the solvent into a very fine membrane. They block large suspended particles and solids while lower molecular weight water and solutes are allowed to flow through the membrane.
Industry and research use this separation process to purify and concentrate macromolecular solutions (103 - 106 Da), often protein solutions. Ultrafiltration is similar to microfiltration, nanofiltration or gas separation, except it differs in the molecular size it blocks.
To meet critical discharge criteria, ultrafiltration systems eliminate the need for turbidity filters. Efficient ultrafiltration systems use membranes that can be immersed in water, backwashed, and aerated. Spiral wound UF/MF membranes offer excellent performance in process water and wastewater.
Advantages of Ultrafiltration (UF) systems
Ultrafiltration (UF) membrane systems are more reliable than traditional multistage perforated filters that only remove matter about 10 microns or larger... Whereas UF membranes have a super pore size. filtration ranges from 0.01 to 0.10 microns. In addition to outstanding turbidity removal, UF membranes effectively remove bacteria and most viruses.
- Exceptional filtration performance with high flow
- Very small nominal hole diameter (0.03 m)
- Effectively removes bacteria and viruses
- Rinse and aerate from time to time to increase performance and remove deposits to extend operating life
- Membrane module with less clogging
- Outside-in or Inside-out UF configuration allows for reduced plugging and higher solid loads
- Basic, vertical, modular design allows for compact, low-cost systems
- Efficient membrane cleaning that is resistant to chemicals and high temperatures
What is Ultrafiltration (UF) in water treatment?
Ultrafiltration systems use hollow membrane fibers to remove suspended solids, bacteria, viruses and pathogens from feed water. The pump passes the treated water through microscopic holes, which act as a physical barrier allowing only filtrates to pass through them. The ultrafiltration filter is used next to remove solids such as weeds and resins from the filtered water prior to entering the UF system. After UF treatment, the water can be sent to an RO reverse osmosis system to produce purified water or can be used for public supply immediately.
What is Ultrafiltration (UF) and its importance?
Most regions of the world use ultrafiltration plants to maintain enough clean water for public consumption. The water filtration efficiency achieved by the UF system is about 250 times higher than that of a conventional sand filter system. These systems are also well suited to many industries that require ultrapure water to be filtered out of these systems. The ultrafiltration membranes used in these systems are treated to reduce turbidity or used as a pretreatment to maintain the effectiveness of your RO reverse osmosis membrane. These systems are typically low cost, easy to operate, contain no contaminant residues, and have remarkably high recovery rates.
