Ultra filtration (UF), technology uses a membrane barrier to exclude particles as small as 0.01 microns, including bacteria, viruses and colloids, meeting increasingly stringent water quality standards around the world providing a stable, reliable and consistent water quality.
UF can be used for removal of particulates and macro molecules from raw water, to produce potable water. When treating water with high suspended solids, UF is often integrated into the process, using primary (screening, flotation and filtration) and some secondary treatments as per-treatment stages.
Ultra Filtration Offers
- High and consistent product quality measured by turbidity (NTU), silt density index (SDI) or log removal value (LRV).
- Tolerance to feed water quality upsets.
- No use of pretreatment chemicals (polymer, coagulant, pH adjustment) and associated costs for sludge disposal.
- Small footprint and less weight than media filters.
- UF also helps reduce fouling of RO membranes.
