Ultra Filtration (UF) is a pure filtration process with a pore size of <0.1 microns, which can remove turbidity, particles, bacteria, and organic matter in water to a certain level. The final product of Ultra Filtration will be very clear and can be used directly as clean water* or as input for subsequent filtration processes such as Reverse Osmosis.
Our Ultra Filtration (UF) membrane modules are made of high-quality PVDF hollow fiber UF membranes that have proven performance, high flux, ease of cleaning and low electricity consumption.
* Depends on input quality and product water criteria in each application

Why Choose Ultra Filtration (UF) Technology?
Ultra Filtration (UF) is one of the membrane technologies widely used in modern water treatment systems because it can produce more stable water quality compared to conventional filtration methods.
With its very small membrane pore size, UF technology is effective in removing suspended solids, bacteria, colloids, and fine particles without removing minerals that are still needed in the water.
This technology is widely used as a main treatment process as well as a pre-treatment before Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems, helping improve efficiency and extend the service life of RO membranes.
Ultra Filtration Applications for Various Industries
Ultra Filtration technology can be applied across various industrial sectors that require consistent and efficient water quality.
- Food and beverage industry
- Hospitals and healthcare facilities
- Hotels and resorts
- Manufacturing industry
- Industrial estates
- Power plants
- Drinking water treatment
- Water reuse systems
With a flexible design, UF systems can be adjusted to the capacity and operational needs of each industry.
Advantages of Hydromaster Ultra Filtration System
Stable Water Quality
Produces water with very low turbidity levels and consistent quality.
Operational Efficiency
Requires fewer chemicals compared to several conventional water treatment methods.
RO System Protection
Functions as an effective pre-treatment to reduce fouling on Reverse Osmosis membranes.
Modular Design
Can be applied for small to large capacities according to project requirements.
Easy to Integrate
Can be easily combined with other technologies such as BWRO, SWRO, and wastewater treatment systems.
Ultra Filtration Integration in Water Treatment Systems
In many projects, Ultra Filtration does not operate as a standalone system, but becomes part of a more comprehensive water treatment process.
Hydromaster often integrates Ultra Filtration with technologies such as:
- Multi Media Filter (MMF)
- Reverse Osmosis (RO)
- Brackish Water Reverse Osmosis (BWRO)
- Sea Water Reverse Osmosis (SWRO).
- Demineralization System
This approach allows the system to produce water quality that meets industrial process needs and specific operational standards.
Frequently Asked Questions about Ultra Filtration
Can Ultra Filtration remove bacteria?
Yes. UF membranes are capable of filtering bacteria and certain micro-particles, significantly improving water quality.
What is the difference between Ultra Filtration and Reverse Osmosis?
Ultra Filtration is used to remove particles, bacteria, and colloids, while Reverse Osmosis can remove dissolved salts and minerals from water.
Is UF suitable as RO pre-treatment?
Yes. UF is one of the most commonly used pre-treatment technologies before Reverse Osmosis systems.
Which industries commonly use UF?
UF technology is widely used in the food and beverage industry, hospitals, hotels, manufacturing, and drinking water treatment.
