Ultra-filtration (UF) Water Treatment System

High-Efficiency Ultra-Filtration (UF) Water Treatment Systems

An ultra-filtration water treatment system is an innovative membrane-based purification technology designed to remove suspended solids, colloids, bacteria, viruses and macro-molecules from water. Operating at pressures between 10 to 100 psi, ultrafiltration systems use semi-permeable membranes with pore sizes ranging from 0.01 to 0.1 microns to achieve exceptional water clarity and purity. These systems work through a pressure-driven process where contaminated water is forced through flat sheet membranes, allowing clean water to pass through while trapping unwanted particles. The pre-treatment membrane filtration is essential for industries requiring high-quality water and it serves as an effective pre-processing solution for reverse osmosis systems and advanced water purification applications.

A typical UF water treatment system features automatic backwashing mechanisms, pressure gauges and flow control valves to maintain maximum operational efficiency. The membrane housing can accommodate between 6 to 144 hollow fiber elements depending on system capacity, with flow rates varying from 5 to 500 gallons per minute. Modern pressure driven membrane filtration equipment includes integrated differential pressure indicators and automated shut-off systems to prevent membrane fouling. System configurations include both portable UF membrane units for emergency water purification and large-scale installations for municipal water treatment facilities. The membrane filtration process lowers water turbidity below 0.1 NTU, removes 99.99% of bacteria and viruses, and keeps essential minerals for better taste.
