ULTRAFILTRATION PLANT

Ultrafiltration (UF) is a water purification process in which water is forced through a semipermeable membrane. Suspended solids and high-molecular-weight solutes remain on one side of the membrane, the retentate side, while water and low-molecular-weight solutes filter through the membrane to the permeate side. UF can remove most organic molecules and viruses, as well as a range of salts.

It has gained popularity because it produces a stable water quality no matter the source water, has a compact physical footprint, removes 90–100% of pathogens, and does not require chemicals, except for cleaning membranes.

Working Principle:

In UF, water is passed under pressure through hollow fiber membranes. Larger particles like suspended solids, pathogens, and organics are retained, while purified water passes through the membrane, delivering consistent quality without the need for chemicals.

Key Features:

• Removes up to 90–100% of bacteria, viruses & colloids

• No chemical usage during operation (chemical-free)

• Compact footprint and easy integration with existing systems

• Robust membrane life and minimal maintenance

• Available in skid-mounted or containerized units

• Flow rates available from 100 LPH to 20,000+ LPH

Advantages:

✅ Stable output regardless of source water
✅ Environment-friendly – no harmful waste
✅ Cost-effective pre-treatment for RO systems
✅ Simple cleaning and backwash process
✅ Ideal for water recycling and reuse applications
