Hydro-Air - Ultrafiltration Systems (UF)

UF is a low pressure process for selective filtration of molecules of specified size and weight. Material ranging in size from 1000 MW to 1.000.000 MW are retained by UF membrane while lower molecular weight compounds, salts and water are passing through. Typical applications of UF membrane are concentration and recovery of high molecular weight compounds separation/removal of contaminants, clarification, removal of colloids and suspended solids, thus being used as pretreatment for reverse osmosis units.
