UF Plant (Ultra Filtration)

What it is

An Ultra Filtration (UF) plant uses hollow-fibre membranes to remove suspended solids, turbidity and microbes without needing high pressure.

A UF plant can work on its own to give clear water, or as pre-treatment before an RO plant to protect the RO membranes and improve their life.

How it works

1. Feed water screeningIncoming water passes through a coarse filter to protect the membranes.
2. Low-pressure filtrationWater is pushed through hollow-fibre membranes at low pressure.
3. Contaminant removalSuspended solids, turbidity and microbes are held back by the membrane.
4. Clean water collectionClear filtrate is collected for use or sent to the next treatment stage.
5. Backwash and cleaningRegular backwash and cleaning keep the membranes working well.
