Ultra Filtration

Ultrafiltration works using hydrostatic pressure to force the liquid against a semi-permeable membrane, often utilizing cross-flow membrane filtration. Water and low molecular weight compounds come in permeate through the membrane, whilst suspended solids and high molecular weight compounds remain as a reject. UF membranes are typically classified by their ability to retain solutes of a specific size, with Molecular Weight Cut-Offs (MWCO) ranging from 100,000 daltons to 1500 daltons.

Ultrafiltration is used in a lot of applications in a different segment of industries like chemical, pharmaceutical, food, pretreatment of RO & wastewater treatment. UF can be used in process applications as well as in recycling of treated wastewater based on the feed parameters. Ultrafiltration (UF) is used to remove essentially all colloidal particles (0.01 to 1.0 microns) from water and some of the largest dissolved contaminants. The pore size in the UF membrane mainly determines the type and size of contaminants being removed.

A major attraction of UF is the ability to purify, separate, and concentrate target macromolecules in continuous systems.

Paramount Limited provides ultra filtration membrane system. We manufacture skid mounted ultra filtration membrane systems of all capacity. Paramount offers pilot plan trials to check the suitability of ultra filtration membrane system for water, wastewater & process applications in all industries. One such installation has been for pigment industry where Paramount Limited provided the system with a flow of 14,400 cubic meters per day as pretreatment to RO system for recycling of Cooling Tower Blow Down (CTBD) water.
