Ultrafiltration

Ultrafiltration is used for the separation of suspended solids, bacteria, virus and other solutes of high molecular weight. Ultrafiltration uses membranes with pore sizes ranging between 1 and 100nm. Contaminants of high molecular weight are filtered out by the membrane while water and low molecular weight solutes pass through the membrane.

Applications well served by Ultrafiltration

Wastewater Treatment
Food and beverage manufacturing
Chemical and Pharmaceutical manufacturing
Removal of pathogens from milk
Cheese manufacturing
Printing/Ink removal
Fruit juice concentration and clarification
