Ultrafiltration removes excess plasma volume without causing a significant change in electrolytes. In patients with chronic heart failure and diuretic resistance, ultrafiltration improves symptoms, neurohormones, and hemodynamics without hypotension.
Beta Envirocare offers the latest generation Hollow fibre based Ultra filtration systems. Ultra-Filtration membranes typically have pore sizes in the range of 0.01 – 0.10 µm and have a high removal efficiency for bacteria and most viruses, colloids and silt. The introduction of Ultra-Filtration (UF) as a pre-treatment for Colloidal Silica removal, and tertiary treatment for Recycling plant has resulted in several advantages
Typical benefits with an UF system include
- Consistently low SDI in the UF filtrate
- Significantly reduced RO membrane fouling and cleaning frequency
- Extended RO membrane life
- Reliable production of high quality water regardless of raw water turbidity
- Higher RO membrane flux
- Smaller footprints lower land acquisition costs
- Lower consumption of operational and cleaning chemicals
There are two main types of ultrafiltration systems.
- Point-of-use: These are typically used for under-the-counter drinking water systems.
- Point-of-entry: These are typically used to run water for applications that do not require water filtered as fine.
