Canv-UF Ultrafiltration System
(Industrial, commercial, residential)
Ultrafiltration (UF) is a low pressure membrane filtration process uses hydrostatic pressure to force water through a semi-permeable membrane. With a usual pore size from 0.01 to 0.1 micron, UF provides barrier to suspended solids, sand, dirt, silt, bacteria, viruses, endotoxins and other pathogens to produce water with very high purity and low silt density index (SDI). UF membranes are usually constructed from cellulose acetate (CA), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polypropylene (PP), polyethersulfone (PES) etc,. UF membrane also comes in different type such as hollow fiber, flatsheet which may be arranged in cross flow or dead-end configuration and the system design solemnly depends on the UF application, source water quality and on particle size removal. The UF process is used in a wide variety of applications and industries and typical feed sources include seawater, surface, well and waste waters.
