Membrane filtration technology has revolutionized industry standards in purifying raw water and recycling liquid waste. Among the various levels of filtration available, Ultra Filtration (UF) and Reverse Osmosis (RO) are the two most relied-upon systems.<\/span><\/p>\n

Both use microscopic filtering membranes, yet they were created to target entirely different types of pollutants. Choosing the wrong system will inevitably lead to wasted energy or water quality that falls short of the operational standards of your plant's machinery.<\/span><\/p>\n

Characteristics of Ultra Filtration<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

A UF system uses a filtering membrane with pore sizes in the range of 0.01 micron. This degree of tightness works very effectively to block microscopic solid particles, sediment, pathogens, and harmful bacteria.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The pores of a UF membrane are still loose enough for dissolved minerals and salt molecules to pass through, making it ideal for clarifying turbid river water or serving as a pre-treatment stage that protects machinery.<\/p>\n

Characteristics of Reverse Osmosis<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Operating at a far more extreme level of separation, RO membranes have pores measuring 0.0001 micron. This system requires the push of a high-pressure pump to overcome osmotic pressure and force pure water molecules through.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As a result, RO not only sweeps bacteria away but also blocks up to 99.9 percent of salts, dissolved minerals, and heavy metal ions.<\/span><\/p>\n
