Ultra Filtration Systems
Ultra Filtration Systems
Ultrafiltration units are basically a filtering process. It can be applied to water purification by itself or before osmosis using the ultrafiltration technique. Ultrafiltration modules, with their membrane structure with a 0.01 micron pore diameter, serve as a complete barrier for bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms without the need for the use of chemicals. In other words, by rejecting all particles larger than this pore diameter; It shows a turbidity value of less than 0.1 NTU and an excellent filtration ability in organic matter removal.
As it is known, one of the most commonly used methods for removing microbiological contaminants in drinking water is dosing chlorine into the water. Although its effect on the removal of these microorganisms is quite high, it is not 100%. Organisms that can resist disinfectants, such as some spore-bearing microorganisms, can only be retained with Ultrafiltration membranes. This means that since the pore diameters of the membranes we use in Ultrafiltration systems are smaller than the diameters of microorganisms, we can safely purify the water. Apart from this, it is known that organic substances and chlorine compounds in water form THMs (trihalomethanes) and the toxic effects of these THMs on the human body cause irreversible disorders. In this sense, the most important advantages of ultrafiltration are that it does not add any additives to the water, does not leave any residue, and does not produce unwanted oxidative substances.
In addition to the excellent filtration of surface waters, UF ultrafiltration modules enable conventional biological and chemical treatment effluents to be fed into reverse osmosis systems and have an important place in wastewater recovery projects and are widely used in the pre-treatment of seawater osmosis systems.
UF systems are also used successfully in sea water treatment, food industry and beverage processes, natural drinking water preparation factories, bacterial removal and indirect disinfection of water and many special processes. Special designs for the recovery of wastewater and MBR-based water recovery processes constitute the lifeblood of the systems.
