Ultrafiltration (UF) Membrane
Assured and Reliable Water Purification using UF membrane
What is the Ultrafiltration (UF) membrane?
Ultrafiltration (UF) is a low-pressure membrane filtration process for water and wastewater treatment to remove suspended solids, colloids, bacteria, and viruses.
UF is typically a hollow fiber configuration where feed water flows either inside the fiber (inside-out) or outside (outside-in) of the fibers. The typical pore size of the UF membrane is 0.05 to 0.1 microns and operating pressure is in the range of 3 to 8 barg (300 to 800 kPa).
UF membrane effectively removes suspended solids, particles, colloids, and solutes of high molecular weight, while water and low molecular weight solutes pass through the membrane.
UF membrane system removes the need for spacious and chemical-consuming coagulation, flocculation, and settler unit operations and thus it is compact, modular, and sustainable. Ideally, UF is placed as a pretreatment to a Nanofiltration (NF) or Reverse Osmosis (RO) system.
