Ultrafiltration Membrane

Ultrafiltration (UF) is an advanced membrane filtration technology that provides a reliable and absolute barrier for removing suspended solids, bacteria, viruses, and colloids. Unlike conventional sand or media filters—which typically remove particles only up to ~5 microns and depend on consistent raw water quality—UF membranes filter particles as small as 0.02–0.05 microns, ensuring superior and consistent water quality.

Key Features & Benefits

• High and consistent water quality (low turbidity & SDI)

• Effective removal of bacteria, viruses, and fine particles

• Handles fluctuations in feedwater quality

• Minimal or no use of pretreatment chemicals

• Reduced sludge generation and disposal costs

• Compact design with smaller footprint

  
  

UF as RO Pretreatment

• When used before Reverse Osmosis (RO), UF significantly enhances system performance by:

• Reducing membrane fouling

• Lowering chemical cleaning frequency

• Minimizing operational downtime

• Enabling higher RO efficiency with reduced membrane requirement
