FILTRATION SYSTEMS
ULTRA FILTRATION
Microfiltration (MF), Ultrafiltration (UF), Turbofiltration (TF), Nanofiltration (NF) are a variety of membrane filtration in which hydrostatic pressure forces a liquid against a semipermeable membrane. Suspended solids and solutes of high molecular weight are retained, while water and low molecular weight solutes pass through the membrane. This separation process is used in industry and research for purifying and concentrating macromolecular solutions
The various filtrations systems offered by Wock-Oliver are not fundamentally different from one another. The only difference between ultrafiltration, microfiltration or nanofiltration is the size of the molecules it retains. However, Turbo Filtration™ is unlike any other filtrations systems, which has been produced after years of R&D. Turbo Filtration™ is one of the patented technologies of Wock-Oliver and has been utilised in variety of industry for re-cycling i.e., STP, Textile, paper, ceramics, pharmaceuticals, edible oil water treatment etc.
Advantages of Turbo Filtration (TF)
- High removal capability for bacteria and most viruses, colloids and silt
- Does not introduce any chemicals to the water
- Produces no by-products
- Does not alter the taste, pH or other properties of the water
- Easy and cost-effective to install and maintain without any special training
