Product Description: This ultra-fine membrane technology is used in an ultrafiltration drinking water system to filter particles as small as 0.025 microns and remove all suspended solids from the water while operating on a micro level. The majority of solid particulates in fluids can be removed by an ultrafiltration system, but unlike a reverse osmosis system, it cannot remove dissolved particles. Microfiltration or conventional carbon filter cannot filter the smallest particles, but an ultrafiltration system can. Most industries and water treatment plants employ ultrafiltration systems in order to add value to their later products.
Functionality: Systems for ultrafiltration functions are essentially similar to other water filtration methods. When water passes through a sediment filter, where the porosity of the filter allows it to capture particulates. Similar to a sediment filter, an ultrafiltration system applies hydrostatic pressure which forces the liquid against a semi-permeable membrane. Suspended solids and solutes of high molecular weight are retained, while water and low molecular weight solutes pass through the membrane. Usually, we also add a carbon filter to the system to get rid of suspended solids, bad taste, and odour.
