Aquafilter TLCHF-RC 10” ultrafiltration membrane 0.01 micron
Water ultrafiltration (UF) is a filtration process
that uses standard home water pressure to push water through its semi-permeable
membrane. Ultrafiltration (UF) removes viruses, bacteria, as well as suspended
particles from your drinking water. Particles and materials of high molecular
weight are unable to pass through the 0.01-micron UF membrane so that only
fresh water and dissolved minerals get through. The UF membrane also has a
chemical resistance to oxidants and chlorine. Ultrafiltration (UF) uses a porous
membrane to remove bacteria and viruses while retaining minerals. A UF system
is a waste-free alternative to reverse osmosis, leads to quicker and more
efficient delivery of clean water. More over hollow fiber
UF membranes leave beneficial minerals intact. ACS-7 membranes are designed for
cold potable water filtration.
Benefits of Ultrafiltration
An ultrafiltration water system keeps good minerals in
your water without producing waste water. Ultrafiltration treatment runs at low
water pressure, does not require a separate water holding tank, does not alter
the pH of your water, and does not require electricity. The UF membrane is
stable at a wide range pH level. Historically, ultrafiltration has been used in
large municipal water treatment plants and hospitals; however, thanks to
technological advances you can now install a powerful under sink water
filtration system in your home.
Membrane Filtration Stages
Since the filtration flow in our UF hollow fiber path is outside-to-inside, the contaminants from the
feed will accumulate on the outside of the fibers,
much like a cartridge filter that is familiar to all water purification. The
purified water will flow through the center of the
hollow fiber to be collected at the top of each
hollow fiber tube.
