WHAT IS ULTRAFILTRATION AND WHAT ARE ULTRAFILTRATION PROCESSES IN WASTEWATER?

In wastewater treatment, ultrafiltration (UF) devices are used to recycle and reuse water that contains virtually no physical solids.

Ultrafiltration definition, applications and industries using these process units are covered below.

Ultrafiltration (UF) is a variety of membrane filtration in which forces like pressure or concentration gradients lead to a separation through a semipermeable membrane. Suspended solids and solutes of high molecular weight are retained in the so-called retentate, while water and low molecular weight solutes pass through the membrane in the permeate.

Applications of ultrafiltration

UF can be used for removal of particulates and macromolecules from raw water, to produce potable water. It has been used to either replace existing secondary (coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation) and tertiary filtration (sand filtration and chlorination) systems employed in water-treatment plants or as standalone systems in isolated regions with growing populations. When treating water with high suspended solids, UF is often integrated into the process, using primary (screening, flotation and filtration) and some secondary treatments as pre-treatment stages.
