1. Product Introduction of Nanofiltration Ultrafiltration Equipment
Nanofiltration ultrafiltration equipment adopts graded membrane separation design, taking polymer hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane and composite nanofiltration membrane as core filter materials. The ultrafiltration system acts as security pretreatment to block macromolecular impurities, and nanofiltration performs fine purification on permeate water from ultrafiltration. Compared with single ultrafiltration equipment or simple reverse osmosis equipment, this combined equipment has moderate desalination capacity, low operation pressure, low energy consumption and convenient membrane cleaning conditions, which fills the purification gap between ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis in water treatment process. Our mainstream ultrafiltration components are modified anti-pollution PVDF hollow fiber membranes, matched with roll-type composite nanofiltration membranes with special selective separation performance, adapting to circulating water treatment, food liquid decolorization, wastewater reuse and other medium-pollution water quality conditions in various industries.
A complete nanofiltration ultrafiltration equipment is composed of ultrafiltration membrane components, nanofiltration membrane module, stainless steel bearing frame, raw water booster pump, automatic backwash valve group, online acid-base dosing cleaning system, front-end security liquid filter and PLC centralized intelligent control cabinet. After two-stage membrane filtration, the produced water can meet the reuse standard of industrial medium-purity water, reduce the salt content and organic pollution load of water body, and avoid the high operating cost brought by full reverse osmosis treatment. All finished combined equipment will pass air tightness pressure test and 72-hour uninterrupted full-load aging test before delivery, preventing unexpected shutdown faults in long-term continuous on-site operation.
We launch differentiated membrane filtration products to satisfy diverse project requirements. Customers requiring synchronous filtration and partial desalination can choose Ultrafiltration Equipment Reverse Osmosis Combined Water Treatment System to complete overall water treatment with one integrated device.

The control system supports local touch screen operation, with optional remote real-time monitoring function for unified remote management. Our company provides spot standard equipment, non-standard customized development, OEM processing service and complete CE certification documents to help overseas customers smoothly complete customs clearance and project acceptance procedures.
2. Working Principle of Nanofiltration Ultrafiltration Equipment
The nanofiltration ultrafiltration combined system adopts pressure-driven cross-flow graded filtration mode. The built-in PLC program automatically switches three working modes: normal water production, automatic backwashing regeneration and regular chemical deep cleaning.
2.1 Two-stage Normal Filtration Process
Original water firstly removes large granular impurities through the front liquid filter, then is transported into the ultrafiltration membrane shell by the raw water pump. Ultrafiltration membrane relies on physical pore screening to intercept suspended solids, colloids, algae and microbial substances; clean permeate enters the intermediate water tank and is boosted into the nanofiltration module. Nanofiltration membrane uses charge repulsion and molecular sieve dual effects to intercept macromolecular organic matter, partial divalent metal ions and pigment substances, finally outputting high-quality reuse water. Cross-flow water flow continuously washes the membrane surface during operation to slow down the accumulation of pollutant filter cake and stabilize system water production flux.
2.2 Automatic Backwashing Regeneration Stage
With the accumulation of pollutants on the membrane surface, the inlet and outlet pressure difference of ultrafiltration and nanofiltration modules will rise gradually. When the pressure difference reaches the preset alarm threshold, the system automatically switches the valve pipeline. Clean produced water washes the membrane surface reversely to flush away loose pollutants, and the waste dirt is discharged out of the equipment along with concentrated water. The whole backwashing process lasts only 3–8 minutes and will not cause long-time shutdown of the whole water treatment system.
2.3 Periodic Chemical Deep Cleaning
Conventional backwashing cannot remove stubborn organic fouling and scale attached to the membrane pores. The supporting dosing system is equipped with pickling and alkaline cleaning agents for circulating immersion cleaning, restore the original flux of ultrafiltration and nanofiltration membranes, and maintain the efficient and stable operation of the whole set of equipment for a long time.
