Aqualine Ultrafiltration Systems

AQUALINE ULTRAFILTRATION SYSTEMS

Aqualine ultrafiltration units are basically a filtration process. It can be applied on its own or before osmosis in water treatment using the ultrafiltration technique. Ultrafiltration modules, with their membrane structure with a pore diameter of 0.01 micron, act as a complete barrier for bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms without the need for chemical use. In other words, by rejecting all particles larger than this pore diameter; It shows a turbidity value of less than 0.1 NTU and an excellent filtration ability in organic matter removal.

As it is known, one of the most applied methods for the removal of microbiological pollution in drinking water is chlorine dosage. Although the effect on the removal of these microorganisms is quite high, it is not 100%. Organisms that can resist disinfectants, such as some spore-forming microorganisms, can only be retained by Ultrafiltration membranes. This means that since the pore diameters of the membranes we use in Ultrafiltration systems are smaller than the diameters of microorganisms, we can safely purify them from water. Apart from this, it is known that organic substances and chlorine compounds in water form THMs (trihalomethanes) and these THMs cause irreversible toxic effects on the human body. In this sense, the most important advantages of ultrafiltration are that it does not add any additives to the water, does not leave any residual products, and does not produce unwanted oxidative substances.

UF ultrafiltration modules, besides perfect filtration of surface waters, allow conventional biological and chemical treatment effluent to be fed to reverse osmosis systems and have an important place in wastewater recovery projects and are widely used in the pre-treatment of seawater osmosis systems.

UF systems are also used successfully in sea water treatment, food industry and beverage processes, natural drinking water preparation factories, bacteria intake and indirect disinfection of water and many special processes. Special designs for the recovery of waste water and MBR origin, constitute the lifeblood of the systems in the processes for the recovery of water.
