Our UF Series ultrafiltration systems are designed to handle waste volumes up to 3000 gpd on a continuous basis with minimal operator attention. These systems are designed to reduce wastes by as much as 98 percent with a minimum of energy, no heat and without the use of chemical additives. Our high volume systems utilize spiral membrane technology to provide the largest amount of membrane surface in the smallest possible flow channels. Sanborn Technologies has installed spiral membrane systems for industrial applications with capacities up to 30,000 gallons per day. Operating at low pressures, MF technology can separate suspended and colloidal materials down to 0.1 micron.
Membranes made of polymers or ceramics are available for high temperature applications.
This technology will reject oil and solid particulate down to 0.005 micron on the surface of the membrane, allowing water and dissolved salts to pass through a barrier. UF is available in wide channel tubular configurations allowing for trouble-free processing in the presence of solids or in narrow channel designs which densely pack membrane area into elements for energy efficiency. NF is a tight membrane which rejects dyes, and some large molecular weight compounds. NF membrane systems operate at low pressures with minimal pretreatment. In use for recycling rinse waters, removing dye penetrants from water and COD reduction, this technology is easy to use and economical.
