Ultra Filters (UF)

Ultrafiltration systems are a natural next step to multimedia filtration for supercritical operations that require <1ppm TSS such as the chrome plating industry, where it is essential to have a post UF system after the RO system for makeup water. A UF membrane pore size ranges from 0.01 – 0.10 micron, this aids in superior turbidity removal resulting in crystal clear product water, additionally, UF systems effectively eliminate a significant classification of bacteria & viruses too.

• Reduction of fouling frequency in downstream membrane separation system (RO).
• Low-cost space saving modules deliver critical filtration rates at lower energy consumption.
• When used in pharmaceutical pure water applications, special membranes with molecular cut off rates of upto 6kda or 4kda can be used post Purified water generation system to generate WFI quality water. Compared to the multi-distillation column method, generating WFI via membrane separation system is a proven energy saver and far sophisticated method.
• Ultrafiltration systems are a new-gen preferred method for whey protein concentration & lactose production in the dairy processing industry & natural fruit juice concentration in the food & beverage processing industry. Compared to the traditional method of evaporation of natural fruit juices which leads to excessive operational & capital expenses, Ultrafiltration for food & beverage processing units offers a low-cost, low energy consumption, totally automated process.
