Ultrafiltration
Ultrafiltration (UF) is a critical stage in storm water recycling that provides a high level of purification by removing suspended solids, bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms. Ultrafiltration is a membrane filtration process where water is forced through a semipermeable membrane with pores typically ranging from 0.01 to 0.1 microns. This pore size is small enough to retain particles, bacteria, and some viruses while allowing water and dissolved ions to pass through.
One of the key advantages of ultrafiltration is its ability to remove a wide range of contaminants without the need for chemical additives. This makes UF a more environmentally friendly option compared to processes that rely on chemical treatments. The membranes used in ultrafiltration are often made of materials like polysulfone, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), or cellulose acetate, chosen for their durability, resistance to fouling, and ability to handle high-pressure operation.
In a storm water recycling system, ultrafiltration typically follows sand and carbon filtration, which remove larger particles and organic matter, thus reducing the load on the UF membranes. The water is pressurized and passed through the UF membranes, where the contaminants are trapped on the surface or within the pores of the membrane. The filtered water, now free of microorganisms and suspended solids, continues to the next treatment stages.
