Industrial Water Ultrafiltration Systems

Ultrafiltration is a powerful macro-modular separation process used to remove colloids, particles, large organic molecules, and microbiological contaminants from water.

We offer flexible, mobile water ultrafiltration systems designed to meet your specific flow-rate requirements. Our systems are housed in convenient containers, available with or without wheels for easy transport and deployment. Utilising advanced membrane filter technology, these systems are ideal for various industrial applications, including process water treatment, borehole water purification, and water recycling/reuse initiatives.

Typical Applications

Removal of contaminants such as suspended solids, particles, and colloidal matter that can clog equipment, interfere with chemical reactions, and reduce process efficiency.

Ensuring a consistent quality of feed water entering the RO system. This stability leads to more predictable RO performance and higher-quality permeate.

Providing a consistent feed water quality to desalination equipment, helping maintain stable operation and optimal performance.

Ensuring effective TSS removal and effluent polishing, even in response to changing conditions. The asset can be deployed to different points within a wastewater treatment plant or at various stages of the discharge process.

Providing a flexible, real-time testing environment for assessing system performance, optimizing treatment parameters, validating designs, and ensuring compliance.

Success Story

Our customer annually produces over 2.1 million tonnes of sustainable products, including sugar, animal feed, and electricity. They’ve invested in the UK’s first bioethanol plant, modified to produce advanced biofuels with up to 10% bioethanol content. A new ultra-filtration system, capable of treating 100m³/h of condensate 24/7 during campaigns from March to September, was required.

Opting for a cost-effective solution, the customer chose to rent the plant under a 7-year agreement with MWS. Our package included two automatic 200µm pre-filter screens, re-pressurization pumps, and two 50 m³/h ultra-filtration systems. This arrangement ensured reliability and cost-efficiency for the project, with ongoing maintenance and service provided by our technical operations teams throughout the agreement period.

Ultrafiltration FAQs

Water ultrafiltration (UF) is a water treatment process that uses a semipermeable membrane to filter out large suspended solids, bacteria and viruses from water, ensuring removal of particles as small as protein macromolecules.

Suspended solids and high-molecular-weight solutes remain on one side of the membrane, the retentate side, while water and low-molecular-weight solutes filter through the membrane to the permeate side.

Ultrafiltration (UF) is a membrane filtration process that uses pressure to force water through a semipermeable membrane. This membrane has specific pore sizes that allow water molecules and smaller dissolved substances to pass through, while larger particles like bacteria, viruses, and colloids are retained. Ultrafiltration offers a balance between effective contaminant removal and mineral retention, making it a valuable tool for water treatment. It is particularly effective in removing larger particles while preserving essential minerals, often providing better purified water. 

Mobile water ultrafiltration(UF) systems offer a range of benefits that make them a valuable option for various applications. Mobile UF units are unique to traditional, stationary water treatment facilities because they can be deployed to diverse locations to present timely water treatment services. These assets by NSI Mobile Water Solutions are available within a container, which can be delivered on site either as a wheel or non-wheel-based solution.
