Ultrafiltration & Microfiltration
Ultrafiltration uses hollow fibers of membrane material and the feed water flows either inside the shell or in the lumen of the fibers.
Suspended solids and solutes of high molecular weight are retained, while water and low molecular weight solutes pass through the membrane. Ultrafiltration membranes are commonly employed for potable water treatment applications for the removal of pathogens and turbidity from raw water.
Ultrafiltration (UF) technology uses a membrane barrier to exclude particles as small as 0.01 microns, including bacteria, viruses and colloids. The advantages of UF compared to conventional treatments such as clarifiers and media filters, are its high tolerance to feed water quality upsets, absolute barrier and improved water quality.
