Ultrafiltration Plant (UF Plant)

Ultrafiltration Plant (UF Plant)

Overview:

  • Ultrafiltration (UF) is an important purification technology used for the production of high-purity water in the many industries. When strategically combined with other purification technologies in a complete water & Wastewater system. UF membranes used to remove high molecular-weight substances, colloidal materials, silt, turbidity, organic / inorganic polymeric molecules, algae, particulate matters, suspended solids and all microorganisms from Water & Wastewater.
  • NK UF Plants are designed for a variety of industrial & commercial applications requiring high quality equipment with a fast delivery and competitive price. These pre-engineered, pre-assembled and factory tested units minimize installation and start-up time. With simple utility connections and easy to set up controls, the unit is ready for quick on-line service. The control system is an advanced microprocessor-based system that is very easy to use.
  • NK UF Plants are available in flow rates from 0.25 m3/hr.to 100 m3/hr. using high quality Hollow fibre UF membrane and equipment for variety of applications.

Working Principle:

  • Ultra filtration is a unique pressure-driven physical separation process in which the water is passed through porous (partially permeable) membranes with pore sizes in the range of 0.1 to 0.01 micron. These membranes are in the form of long hollow fibres. The result is high pure water free from physical and biological contaminations.
  • Ultra filtration is not fundamentally different from microfiltration or nano filtration, except in terms of the size of the molecules it retains. Ultra filtration is applied in cross-flow or dead-end mode and separation in ultra-filtration undergoes concentration polarization.
