About
Ultrafiltration (UF) is a separation process using membranes with pore sizes in the range of 0.01-0.1 micron. Typically, UF membranes will remove high molecular-weight substances, colloidal materials, and organic and inorganic polymeric molecules. UF Tertiary treat:hAn is used for polishing of treated wastewater under stringhAn disposal norms. Our UF providing quality membrane with permeability is high, while pressure differences remain low, energy saving.
