The Water Company supplies industrial ultrafiltration (UF) systems for advanced water treatment and filtration applications. Ultrafiltration uses specialised membranes with very small pores to remove suspended solids, fine particles, colloids and many microorganisms from water, helping produce clearer water for a variety of commercial and industrial processes.

Industrial UF systems can be used as standalone filtration solutions or as part of a multi-stage water treatment plant. They are particularly useful for applications requiring consistent water quality, effective particle removal and protection of downstream equipment, including reverse osmosis (RO) membranes.

How ultrafiltration works:

Ultrafiltration forces water through a specialised membrane that separates fine particles and other contaminants from the treated water. Depending on the system design, retained material is removed through backwashing, flushing or other cleaning procedures.

UF is not a universal solution for every contaminant. Dissolved salts, nitrates and many other dissolved substances generally pass through standard ultrafiltration membranes. Where these contaminants need to be reduced, additional treatment such as reverse osmosis or specialised filtration may be required.

Selecting the right industrial ultrafiltration system:

Choosing the correct UF system depends on several factors:

Required permeate or treated-water flow rate.

Raw water quality and turbidity.Membrane type and filtration specifications.

Operating pressure and recovery requirements.

Backwashing, flushing and cleaning requirements.

Compatibility with existing pre-treatment and downstream equipment.

A raw water analysis and assessment of the intended application are recommended before selecting an industrial ultrafiltration plant.
