Ultrafiltration (UF) is a separation process using membranes wit pore sizes in the range of 0.1 to 0.001 micron. UF is ideal for the removal of colloids, proteins, bacteria, pyrogens, proteins, and macromolecules larger than the membrane pore size from water.Once considered a viable technology only for desalination, membrane processes are increasingly employed for removal of bacteria and other microorganisms, particulate material, and natural organic material, which can impart color, tastes, and odors to the water and react with disinfectants to form disinfection byproducts (DBP).
UF can be used as pretreatment for reverse osmosis systems or as a final filtration stage for deionized water.
