Ultrafiltration System
Ultrafiltration System
Ultrafiltration (UF) is a pressure-driven purification process that separates particulate matter from soluble compounds using an ultrafine membrane media. Ultrafiltration is an excellent separation technology for desalination pretreatment, reverse osmosis pretreatment, and wastewater reclamation, as well as for producing potable water.
Superior to sand filters and traditional media filtration
As with most conventional filtration methods, sand filters and media filtration require consistent raw water quality to deliver quality effluent, which is not always possible. They also don’t provide an absolute barrier. Traditional media filters typically remove particles to down to about 5 microns.
Ultrafiltration (UF), however, does not suffer from those limitations. This technology uses an ultrafiltration membrane barrier to exclude particles 0.02 to 0.05 microns, including bacteria, viruses, and colloids, meeting increasingly stringent water-quality standards around the world, and providing a stable, reliable, and consistent water quality.
UF offers:
- High and consistent product quality measured by turbidity (NTU) or silt density index (SDI).
- Tolerance to feedwater quality upsets.
- No use of pretreatment chemicals (polymer, coagulant, pH adjustment) and associated costs for sludge disposal.
- Small footprint and less weight than media filters.
When used as a pretreatment for reverse osmosis (RO), UF also helps reduce fouling of the RO membranes, which can lead to:
- Reduced chemical cleaning frequency and consequently, lower operating costs and downtime.
- The potential to operate RO at higher flux, with fewer membranes and vessels — leading to lower capital cost for the RO system.

Thermally Induced Phase Separation (TIPS)
PVDF Membranes
In recent years, the large majority of ultrafiltration membrane manufacturers have adopted polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) as the polymer of choice for creating hollow fiber membranes for demanding water applications. The requirements for high flux rates, appropriate pore size, reliable membrane integrity, mechanical strength and durability, cleaning chemical compatibility, and relatively low cost, have made PVDF the choice over other polymers such as PAN, PES, and PE, and alternative materials such as ceramic membranes.
While not commonly known in the industry, there are two basic methods for creating PVDF membranes that result in significantly different end-products: Thermally Induced Phase Separation (TIPS) methods and Non-solvent Induced Phase Separation (NIPS).
The technology that Scinor uses to build membranes gives as a distinct advantage from our competition. With state-of-the-art materials and technology our UF membranes are constructed to give our customers the best service life and cost effective solution.
We use state-of-the-art materials and manufacturing techniques to provide affordable and versatile water filtration solutions. Scinor water ultrafiltration membranes can filter high volumes of water with superior efficiency, service life and operational cost.
