- Environmental Protection: Processes wastewater for reuse in industrial and municipal settings.
- Textile & Dyeing: Recovers dyes and chemicals from wastewater, reducing resource waste.
Working Principle
The LFUF-8 operates on the principle of ultrafiltration, a pressure-driven membrane process that separates contaminants based on molecular size:
- Pre-Treatment:
- Multi-media and activated carbon filters remove particulates, organics, and chlorine.
- Dosing system adds chemicals to prevent scaling or enhance coagulation.
- 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).
- Backwash Cycle:
- Periodically reverses flow to flush accumulated contaminants from membranes, maintaining performance.
