Ultra filtration Insights

What is Ultra filtration?

Ultrafiltration (UF) is a type of membrane filtration process similar to reverse osmosis, using pressure to force water through a semi-permeable membrane. It effectively removes suspended particles, bacteria, viruses, and other large molecules from water and other solutions. It is commonly used in water treatment, food processing, and chemical separation applications. Unlike reverse osmosis, UF does not remove dissolved salts and small molecules.

Reverse Osmosis

Reverse osmosis (RO) is a membrane separation technology like ultrafiltration, but it uses a tighter membrane to remove smaller molecules, including dissolved salts. RO competes with ultrafiltration in applications requiring higher purity or the removal of dissolved solids, while ultrafiltration is often preferred for applications focused on removing larger particles and macromolecules.
