Key features

Virus removal

Goes beyond what conventional UF filters can do for viruses. The 0.02 µm pores let dissolved minerals pass and block bacteria and viruses.

Keeps minerals

Unlike reverse osmosis, it keeps natural minerals such as calcium and magnesium for healthier drinking water.

Low cost, low impact

Low power use and minimal wastewater keep running costs and environmental impact down.

Easy maintenance

Long filter replacement intervals and simple self-replacement.

Specifications

Standard model. The configuration can be adjusted to your raw water and required capacity.

Components

UF membrane

  • PESm hydrophilic membrane material
  • 0.02 µm pore size
  • Bacteria 6 log, virus 4 log removal
  • NSF/ANSI 419 virus removal
  • IWW bacterial reduction

Touch panel / PLC control

  • TFT full-color LCD touch screen
  • High-speed PLC control
  • High operating reliability
  • PID control (option)

Backwash pump / VFD

  • Multistage centrifugal pump
  • High energy efficiency
  • Corrosion-resistant stainless steel

Chemical dosing unit / CEB

  • Chemical dosing for CEB (chemically enhanced backwash)

Process flow

Feed water passes through the UF membrane to the product line. At set intervals the membrane is backwashed with product water, with chemicals added for a chemically enhanced backwash (CEB) when needed.

Options

  • Feed tank / pump
  • Pre-treatment: MMF, softener, activated carbon filter
  • UV sterilizer
  • Product tank / pump
  • Electric generator 3 kVA
  • Solar power
VZ3000 UF system flow diagram. Feed water passes valve MV-01 and a pressure gauge (PI) into the UF membrane; product water leaves through a flow meter (FI) and valve MV-02. The backwash pump sends water from the product tank through MV-03 to backwash the membrane, and the chemical dosing unit adds chemicals to the backwash. Drain water exits through MV-04 and MV-05.

Applications

  • Drinking water supply

    Municipal, hospitals, hotels, resorts, islands, emergency supply, disaster relief

  • Hydroponics

    Reusing culture solution

  • Aquaculture

    Removes marine microorganisms and viruses to improve aquaculture water quality

  • Industrial water treatment

    Pre-treatment for pure water systems, wastewater reuse, food and beverage, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals
