Ultrafiltration solutions for advanced water and fluid treatment
Water and fluid treatment is complex and requires a multi-step process that involves filtration at various levels of coarseness. To ensure purity, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness, advanced filtration technologies are required. Among these technologies, Ultrafiltration (UF) stands out as a sophisticated and versatile fine filtration solution. It utilizes market-leading membranes with minuscule pore sizes (around 0.02-0.03 μm) to remove bacteria, viruses, parasites, and other undesirable contaminants.
Ultrafiltration technology is widely adopted across the water, wastewater, and industrial sectors (e.g. Minimal Liquid Discharge, MLD), often serving as a crucial pre-treatment step to protect reverse osmosis (RO) systems and reduce the overall Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) – seawater desalination being just one great example of this. UF membranes and water filters can also be used to reclaim wastewater, thereby helping to increase water availability in areas where water resources are scarce.
Additional Applications
Ultrafiltration membranes can also be used in:
- Food, dairy and beverage industries to clarify juices, wines, and beer, and to produce milk and cheese products
- Microelectronics to provide ultrapure water for manufacturing processes
- Life Science applications:
Pharmaceutical manufacturing to purify drugs and vaccines
Biotechnology to concentrate and purify proteins and other biological molecules
Medical applications to remove excess fluid and waste products from the blood
UF helps successfully tackle common key challenges, such as membrane fouling, where contaminants accumulate on the surface, leading to diminished filtration performance and necessitating frequent cleaning. A well-designed Ultrafiltration system will decrease energy consumption and chemical usage, while increasing overall membrane service life - all of which translates to minimized costs and stable, reliable system performance.
