There are currently four commonly
accepted categories of membrane
filtration systems, defined by the size
of material it can remove from liquid.
From the smallest to largest pore size,
these are:
- Reverse Osmosis (RO)
- Nanofiltration (NF)
- Ultrafiltration (UF)
- Microfiltration (MF)
Severn Trent
Services offers the UAT line of
ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, and
reverse osmosis membrane filtration
systems and technologies to meet tap,
brackish and seawater requirements for a
variety of small-to-larger municipal and
industrial applications. |
Some typical applications for membrane filtration systems include:
Water Purification
- Potable from brackish or alkaline source
- Microbial removal; bacteria, pyrogens, giardia and cryptosporidium cysts
- THM precursor and pesticide removal
- Potable from seawater
- Sodium and organics reduction for beverages
- Bottled water
- Can and bottle rinsing
- Rinse water for metal finishing operations
- Spot-free car wash rinses
- Laboratory and reagent grade water
- Semiconductor chip rinsing
- Distillation and deionization system pretreatment
- Kidney dialysis
- Medical device and packaging rinse water
Waste Treatment
- Tertiary sewage water recovery
- Heavy metals and plating salts concentration
- BOD and COD concentration
- Dewatering liquid for reduced disposal volume
- Textile waste recovery for reuse
- Pulp and paper water recovery for reuse
- Commercial laundry water and heat reuse
