Single stage ultrafiltration equipment refers to the filtration system that only uses one group of ultrafiltration membrane modules as the core purification barrier without multi-stage UF membrane series connection in the whole technological flow. It adopts skid-mounted integrated framework layout, with modified hydrophilic PVDF hollow fiber / tubular ultrafiltration membrane as the core filter medium. A complete single-stage UF system consists of membrane module assembly, SUS304 stainless steel frame, raw water delivery pump, automatic backwash valve manifold, online chemical cleaning dosing device, front-end security liquid filter and electrical control cabinet. This single-stage structure simplifies the overall water treatment process, greatly reducing pipeline layout quantity and equipment investment cost, which is the preferred pretreatment device for most medium and small-scale pure water stations and general industrial wastewater recovery projects. After single-stage interception, suspended solids, colloids, algae, bacteria and macromolecular organics in raw water can be efficiently trapped, the SDI value of produced water can be steadily controlled below 5 to protect reverse osmosis membrane elements from pollution and scaling damage. All finished single stage ultrafiltration equipment will pass air tightness pressure test and 72 hours full-load continuous operation aging test before factory delivery to adapt to long-term stable running under various industrial working environments.
We launch differentiated single-stage UF products to meet different project demands. Users with limited installation space can select integrated compact Ultrafiltration Integrated Water Purification Equipment with centralized pipeline layout. For mine, chemical heavy pollution wastewater treatment projects, anti-fouling optimized Tube Type Ultrafiltration Membrane Equipment strengthens the anti-pollution ability of membrane tubes and prolongs cleaning cycles. Factories needing unmanned automatic operation are equipped with PLC control system in Fully Automatic Ultrafiltration Equipment for Industrial Water to realize automatic backwashing and chemical cleaning. Printing, dyeing and daily chemical wastewater recycling projects are matched with targeted Wastewater Treatment Ultrafiltration Equipment single-stage units. For customers who need personalized flow and size customization, we provide professional production support via Manufacturer of Ultrafiltration Membrane Water Purification.
Standard single stage ultrafiltration equipment uses SUS304 for frames and pipelines; SUS316L or FRP materials are optional for corrosive wastewater working conditions. Control modes include manual control and full-automatic touch screen linkage control, and remote data monitoring function can be added on demand. Our company supplies standard spot products, non-standard customized production, OEM processing and complete CE certification documents to help overseas customers smoothly complete customs clearance procedures in various countries and regions.
Single stage ultrafiltration equipment operates based on pressure-driven cross-flow physical interception theory, and the whole operation cycle is automatically switched into three working states by the control system: single-stage water production filtration, automatic backwashing, regular chemical cleaning.
After preliminary coarse filtration by the front liquid filter, raw water enters the inner cavity of ultrafiltration membrane under the pressure of the feed pump. With a fixed membrane pore size of 0.01~0.1μm, water molecules and tiny soluble substances pass through the membrane wall to form qualified permeate water for subsequent processes. Pollutants such as solid particles, biological slime and colloids are trapped on the membrane surface or inside membrane cavities. The tangential high-speed flow of raw water continuously scours the membrane surface to slow down the formation of pollutant filter cake and keep stable water flux in long-term operation.
As intercepted pollutants accumulate gradually, the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of the single-stage membrane module will rise continuously. Once the pressure difference reaches the preset threshold value, the electric valves will switch the pipeline path automatically. Clean produced water flows reversely to flush loose pollutants attached to the membrane surface, and sewage waste is discharged out of the system with concentrated water flow. The whole backwashing process takes only several minutes and will not cause long-time shutdown of the water system.
Long-term physical backwashing cannot thoroughly remove stubborn organic attachments and inorganic scale in membrane pores. The matched dosing system automatically prepares acid and alkali cleaning solution for circulating soaking, which can fully restore the original flux of single-stage ultrafiltration membrane components and maintain the equipment in high-efficiency operation state persistently.

A: Yes. Our technical team optimizes the number of membrane components, pump power and PLC cleaning logic based on customers’ raw water quality parameters and water demand, supporting personalized non-standard modification on standard single-stage ultrafiltration equipment.
Q3: What is the delivery cycle of standard in-stock single stage ultrafiltration equipment and customized modified products?
A: Conventional standard single-stage equipment corresponding to Fully Automatic Ultrafiltration Equipment for Industrial Water is in stock for delivery within 3–7 working days; customized modified equipment needs 12–28 working days according to the modification scope.
Q4: What pretreatment devices need to be configured at the water inlet of single stage ultrafiltration equipment?
A: It is recommended to install multimedia filter + 5μm precision security liquid filter at the front end to intercept large particle sediment and impurities, prevent physical scratch damage to ultrafiltration membrane filaments and reduce the pollution load of single-stage membrane modules.
Q5: Which parts of single stage ultrafiltration equipment are covered by the factory official warranty?
A: Stainless steel frame, water pumps, valves, PLC control cabinet and testing instruments enjoy a 1-year global factory warranty; ultrafiltration membrane elements belong to consumables and are not covered by the warranty policy.
