    • Backed by ISO certifications for quality and environmental safety.

Application in Steel Mill Water Treatment

The Ultrafiltration Equipment Model LFUF-15 is ideally suited for steel mill water treatment, addressing critical challenges:
  1. Circulating Water Filtration:
    • Removes iron, scale, and particulates from cooling water systems, preventing equipment corrosion and scaling.
    • Ensures consistent water quality for blast furnaces, rolling mills, and other critical processes.
  2. Wastewater Recirculation:
    • Polishes wastewater for reuse in non-contact cooling, reducing freshwater consumption.
    • Removes oils, greases, and suspended solids to meet discharge standards.
  3. Boiler Feed Water:
    • Removes suspended solids and silica to prevent boiler tube fouling, extending equipment lifespan.
Key Benefits for Steel Mills:
  • Sustainability: Reduces water intake and wastewater discharge.
  • Cost Savings: Lower freshwater and chemical treatment costs.
  • Process Reliability: Consistent water quality ensures stable production.

Other Industrial Applications

The LFUF-15 excels in diverse industries:
  1. Food & Beverage: Purifies water for bottling, brewing, and cleaning.
  2. Pharmaceutical: Provides ultra-pure water for drug manufacturing and sterilization.
  3. Agriculture: Treats irrigation water to remove pathogens and improve crop yields.
  4. Environmental Protection: Processes wastewater for reuse in industrial and municipal settings.
  5. Textile & Dyeing: Recovers dyes and chemicals from wastewater, reducing resource waste.

Working Principle

The LFUF-15 operates on the principle of ultrafiltration, a pressure-driven membrane process that separates contaminants based on molecular size:
  1. Pre-Treatment:
    • Multi-media and activated carbon filters remove particulates, organics, and chlorine.
    • Dosing system adds chemicals to prevent scaling or enhance coagulation.
  2. Ultrafiltration:
    • High-pressure pump drives feedwater through PVDF hollow fiber membranes.
    • Membranes retain particles, colloids, and macromolecules (retentate), while allowing water and small solutes to pass through (permeate).
  3. Backwash Cycle:
    • Periodically reverses flow to flush accumulated contaminants from membranes, maintaining performance.
