Ultra Filtration Systems

WEIE Ultra Filtration Systems is a treatment process based on the physical separation of compounds from the water phase with the use of a semi-permeable membrane.

The quality of the permeate of a membrane filtration installation is excellent.

Ultrafiltration Systems (UF) is a pressure-driven process that removes metal hydroxides, suspended solids, and other large molecular weight materials from water and other solutions.

Here liquid stream to be treated (feed) flows tangentially along the membrane surface, thereby producing two streams. The stream of liquid that comes through the membrane is called permeate.

The type and number of species left in the permeate will depend on the characteristics of the membrane, the operating conditions, and the quality of feed. The other liquid stream is called concentrate and gets progressively concentrated in those species removed by the membrane.

When an ultrafiltration membrane is used instead of a 0.2-micron cartridge filter, particle removal efficiency is greatly improved. In addition, ultrafiltration membranes are not susceptible to the problem of bacteria growing through them, as is the case with 0.2-micron filters.

Some of the features our plant consists of:

• Marine coated steel frame
• UF membrane modules
• VFD operated Feed / CIP pump (VFD-optional)
• VFD operated Backwash pump (VFD Optional)
• Automatic valves
• Complete set of piping
• Instruments and analyzers
• HMI monitored control panel
• Skid mounted and containerized
