Application Scenarios
The UF-OB90 vertical installation module is suitable for a variety of challenging water treatment scenarios due to its modularity, vertical configuration, and reliable performance. It finds widespread use in:
Municipal drinking water treatment: Where space optimization and high purity are priorities.
Industrial process water recycling: In factories, power plants, or electronics manufacturing needing stable water quality.
Desalination pretreatment: For removing turbidity and biological contaminants ahead of reverse osmosis systems.
Wastewater reclamation: Assisting in converting treated wastewater into reusable greywater or process water.
Food & beverage water purification: Supporting stringent hygiene and quality control standards in bottling and production lines.
Healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors: Where water quality must meet strict microbial and particle content standards.
Thanks to its vertical build, this module is especially suited for skid-mounted or containerized water systems, rooftop units, or retrofits in older facilities where floor area is at a premium.
FAQ
Q1: What are the key advantages of vertical installation of ultrafiltration modules like UF-OB90?
A1: Vertical configuration offers space-saving benefits, improves drainage during cleaning, and simplifies maintenance in systems with stacked module designs.
Q2: How often does the UF-OB90 module require cleaning?
A2: Depending on water quality, backwashing is typically done every 30–60 minutes, and chemical cleaning (CIP) is recommended every 1–4 weeks to maintain performance.
