Using the ultrafiltration system, water is pressed through small plastic pipes. The filtration modules are integrated in the walls of the pipes and consist of pores with an area of 0.01µm and so neither bacteria nor viruses can pass the membrane (for comparison: a human hair has a diameter of approx.
50µm - this is 5000 times as much). Particles and dirt that are too big for the membranes are rinsed off at the end of the pipe. However, dissolved substances such as salt or organic substances pass through the membranes.

The main advantage of the ultrafiltration in comparison to conventional filtration methods is the absolute germ free filtered water. The pores of the ultrafiltration membranes are so small that neither bacteria nor viruses can pass them.

Bundling the filter pipes to filter modules allows a high water through-flow. Depending on the special applications and treatments, these modules have different sizes with different filter performances. The use of different modules in a water treatment system makes nearly every wish come true.

Advantages of the ultrafiltration technology:

• The water that leaves the ultrafiltration is absolutely germ, bacteria and virus free. Several times a day a chemical cleaning and a disinfection of the membranes are processed.
• Germ free filters
• The rinsing works fully automatically. No personal needed.
• The units are easy to install and compact. Room heights of 2.2 metres are sufficient. Space savings up to 50% can be realised, because traditional steel filters and rinsing tanks are not needed anymore.
