Continuous Ultra Filtration
Continuous Ultra Filtration
is a 5th generation, ceramic membrane, cross flow process that has been refined through 30 years of industrial, municipal and reuse applications. These refinements have significantly reduced OpEx, CapEx and complexity over conventional filtration processes.

Features & Benefits
systems have a much smaller footprint with high flux, lower parts count, elimination of external cleaning processes and other unit operations such a pre-treatment.
Reduced Footprint
Ultra-Coagulation
technology operates in a cross-flow mode and it concentrates the coagulated solids over 100 fold in the cross-flow loop. technology utilizes its high mass transfer/mixing from the cross-flow operation. This, coupled with the 100X concentration of coagulated solids, creates a High Solids Contact Reactor (HSCR) within the filtration process itself, eliminating pre-treatment. The HSCR of the coagulates contaminants in seconds and achieves significantly greater contaminant removal while using lower coagulant dosages.
Once contaminants are coagulated, they are removed with ceramic membrane filtration. The ultimate removal mechanism is robust ceramic membrane filtration technology that does not break, tear, burp or fail.
Continuous Operation
's continuous online operation runs for weeks to months without the need to take it offline. With 's proprietary dynamic shock process, it eliminates the need for conventional backwash, back-pulse, or CIP processes which lead to membrane fouling and higher maintenance costs. With 's online and remote technology, Purifics can monitor and control the system from anywhere in the world. 's true ceramic membrane is designed with a 25-year life, and to never see the light of day again after installation.
