UF
Essentially low pressure filtration, so their energy consumption is low. UF systems are mainly used for drinking water purification or pre-treatment before reverse osmosis to remove turbidity, suspended solids, viruses, color and some organic materials.
Ultrafiltration is a membrane separation technology based on a semipermeable membrane used to separate solutions containing beneficial and non-beneficial compounds. The pressure difference is the driving force for the flow to pass through the membrane. The asymmetric structure of UF membranes causes particles larger than the molecular weight of the membrane to be separated and remain on the membrane surface.
