Ultrafiltration membrane separation can replace natural sedimentation, plate and frame filtration, vacuum drum, centrifugal separation, solvent extraction, resin purification, activated carbon decolorization and other processes in traditional processes. The process is operated at room temperature, without phase change and no secondary pollution.

Ultrafiltration membrane separation can replace natural sedimentation, plate and frame filtration, vacuum drum, centrifugal separation, solvent extraction, resin purification, activated carbon decolorization and other processes in traditional processes. The process is operated at room temperature, without phase change and no secondary pollution.
The Industrial Imperative for Advanced Ultrafiltration
Industrial processes increasingly demand water free from microorganisms, colloids, and dissolved organics. Traditional filtration often falls short, while reverse osmosis (RO) alone can be costly and energy-intensive. Ultrafiltration bridges this gap by providing high-flow, low-energy pretreatment that enhances downstream system performance.
Our UF membranes are engineered to:
✔ Reduce particulate and microbial load before RO/EDI systems.
✔ Minimize fouling in high-TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) environments.
✔ Enable water reuse, aligning with sustainable industrial practices.
Industry-Specific Applications of Our UF Technology
1. Semiconductor and Microelectronics Manufacturing
The production of nanoscale electronics requires water with near-zero impurities. Even sub-micron particles can disrupt lithography or cause wafer defects.
How We Solve This Challenge:
Absolute pore ratings (0.02–0.05 µm) to block nanoparticles and endotoxins.
High flow rates to support continuous UPW (Ultra-Pure Water) production.
Compatibility with CIP (Clean-in-Place) systems, reducing downtime.
2. Pharmaceutical Grade Water Systems
Water for Injection (WFI) and Purified Water must comply with FDA, EMA, and WHO standards. Conventional methods struggle with pyrogens and biofilm risks.
Our Innovation:
Hydrophilic membrane surfaces to resist organic fouling.
Validatable pore consistency for GMP compliance.
Bacteria retention rates >99.99%, critical for sterile processes.
3. Energy Sector: Cooling and Boiler Water Optimization
Power plants face severe scaling and corrosion when feedwater contains silica or organics.
Key Benefits of Our UF Membranes:
Turbidity reduction to <0.1 NTU, protecting turbine blades.
Lower chemical consumption compared to multimedia filters.
Thermal stability (up to 80°C) for high-temperature applications.
4. Food & Beverage: Process Water Clarification
From ingredient water to CIP rinsing, UF ensures consistent clarity and safety.
Why Our Membranes Excel:
Food-grade materials (FDA-compliant PVDF).
High chlorine resistance for sanitization cycles.
Engineering Breakthroughs Behind Our UF Membranes
Unlike generic suppliers, we leverage proprietary polymer blends and manufacturing techniques to achieve:
1. Asymmetric pore structures for higher dirt-holding capacity.
2. Enhanced mechanical strength (burst pressure >6 bar), reducing fiber breakage.
3. Low TMP (Transmembrane Pressure) for energy savings.
Materials Science:
1. PVDF-based membranes for extreme pH (2–12) and solvent resistance.
2. PES options for high-flux applications requiring organic removal.

Q&A
Q: Can UF membranes tolerate chlorine exposure?
A: PVDF/PES: Tolerate low-dose chlorine (<200 ppm); CA: Degrades. Chlorine cleans biofilms but shortens membrane lifespan with prolonged use.
Q: How to calculate UF system recovery rate?
A: *Recovery (%) = (Permeate flow / Feed flow) × 100*. Typical UF recovery: 70–90% (depends on feed quality and fouling control).
Q: What is "concentration polarization" in UF?
A: Accumulation of rejected solutes near the membrane surface, reducing flux. Mitigated by cross-flow velocity, pulsation, or backwashing.
