Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary function of an Ultrafiltration (UF) system?
The primary function is to remove suspended solids, colloids, bacteria, viruses, and macromolecular organic matter from water using a fine membrane with pore sizes between 0.01 and 0.10 microns.
How does UF compare to conventional filtration?
UF is significantly more reliable than conventional media filters; while media filters remove particles down to 10 microns, UF membranes can filter out matter as small as 0.01 microns, including most viruses.
What industries can benefit from this technology?
UF systems are ideal for chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing, food and beverage processing, urban sewage treatment, and as a pre-treatment for Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems.
How often should the filtration cartridges be replaced?
Under normal operating conditions, the 5μm PP melt-blown cartridges should be replaced every 2 to 3 months, or whenever the pressure difference reaches 1kg/cm³.
Does the system require chemical dosing?
The system is designed for stable running with no continuous dosing required, making it a lower-cost and more environmentally friendly option for water purification.
What are the pre-treatment components of this system?
The system includes a multimedia filter (quartz sand), an active carbon filter, and an ultrafilter to remove particles, chlorine, and organic matter to protect the downstream membranes.
