Water Equipment Plus UF-Plus membrane water filtration units

The UF-Plus range of automated ultrafiltration units provides small-scale water treatment capabilities for several applications. The four model choices have capabilities as single, dual, triple or quadruple automated membrane solutions, ranging from 20 kL per day for the single unit up to 100 kL for the quadruple module unit.

The units are suitable solutions for a range of requirements. They employ an intuitive control interface enabling them to be operated by personnel without water treatment experience but with enough flexibility to satisfy an experienced operator as well. They are designed to give a long, trouble-free service life under harsh environments.

Typical applications include decentralised water treatment systems, community and rural small-scale systems, remote mining and resource communities, and point-of-entry filtration. Commercial applications include emergency and temporary water supplies, restaurants, hotels and resorts, bottled water production and reverse osmosis pretreatment.

The units require no additional operating equipment other than the water pump, plumbing and pre- or post-treatment storage tanks. All the plumbing and electrical connections are common plug-in fittings and require no hard wiring of mains power.

The units employ low-pressure hollow fibre membrane filtration technology. The system controller provides continuous automatic water production via the EC-Flush clean cycle with minimal operator input. The membrane filtration module is mounted inside the food-grade polyethylene pressure housing, which is compact, tough, easy to transport and simple to install.

Typical uses will include potable surface water, groundwater or seawater treatment. Ultrafiltration provides a high-quality filtrate even when presented with varying suspended solids levels, especially with surface and tidal waters that provide challenges to conventional filters.

The units have dry weights ranging from 50 kg for the single module up to 110 kg for the quad module. They can be easily shipped to remote locations.
