Ultrafiltration (UF) System is a sophisticated water treatment process that is able to remove suspended solids, bacteria, viruses and colloids from water through the use of semi-permeable membranes. The UF systems operate at low pressure, giving high efficiency filtration while retaining the essential minerals in the system, which makes it suitable for any kind of industrial or potable water application.
Ultrafiltration systems are applied in many industries including pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, dairy, chemicals and municipal water treatment. They also serve as a pre-treatment for Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems to prevent RO membrane fouling and prolong the membrane life.
The system operates by circulating water through hollow fibre or flat sheet membranes having very small pores. These membranes act as filters which allow water and smaller dissolved particles to pass through, but do not allow the larger particles through. This leaves low turbidity water with very few microbes.
UFS systems operate around the clock and automatically backwash and clean to ensure optimum performance and minimize maintenance. They are small, low power and can be tailored to suit the water quality and flow rate.
The advantages are uniform water quality, chemical-free water treatment, lower operating expenses, and efficient filtration. The investment in an Ultrafiltration System guarantees a good pre-treatment and hence better overall performance of water purification processes.
In the industries and municipal utilities, microbiologically clean and low-turbidity water is a basic necessity. Unclear water may contain suspended solids, colloids, and pathogens that interfere with downstream facilities, affect the quality of the products and raise the maintenance expenses.
The Ultrafiltration System is a reliable membrane-based application to eliminate bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and fine suspended solids. A well-designed ultrafiltration water system operates at pores in the order of 0.01 to 0.1 microns in diameter, thereby acting as a fine filter, one that includes all the harmful contaminants but does not retain the water or dissolved salts.
Aquatech Plus is a trusted Ultrafilteration Systems Manufacturers in Nigeria, providing membrane solutions designed for steady output, high recovery, and stability. With ongoing increases in water reuse, hygiene requirements, and regulatory demands, commercial and industrial ultrafiltration systems have become fundamental elements of contemporary water treatment systems.
We design our systems to be clearer and more controllable, and we provide long-term functionality for the membranes to perform in commercial and industrial settings. We can provide technical knowledge-based solutions to customers seeking the ultimate ultrafiltration water system for performance and longevity.
Aquatech Plus is regarded as one of the reliable industrial Ultrafilteration Suppliers in Nigeria. We provide fully supported projects – we provide advice on which membrane configuration to use, we install the membrane, and we maintain it.

Our systems are developed to process:
Being the veteran Ultrafiltration System Wholesalers in Nigeria, we assist in servicing the EPC contractors, consultants, municipal bodies, and industrial developers.
Our product range includes:
To create hybrid solutions when needed, we combine UF with a nanofiltration system or multiple nanofiltration systems to remove specific ions or parts of the salt. Such a mix allows flexibility in the usage of applications which require more than microbial control but less than complete desalination.
An Ultrafiltration system is a pressure-driven membrane filtration technology that removes suspended solids and microorganisms from water.
Working Principle:
The most common materials that are used to manufacture UF membranes include:
In comparison to Reverse Osmosis, UF (Ultrafiltration) does not eliminate dissolved salts (TDS, or total dissolved solids) or inorganic ions. A nanofiltration system can be recommended for use in applications where partial demineralisation is required after the UF treatment.
Installed in:
Designed for:
Suspended solids and pathogens may result in water that contains impurities:
The designed ultrafiltration system for water treatment serves as a physical barrier to bacteria and viruses, enhancing downstream performance and extending equipment service life.
Dead-End (Direct Flow):
Water moves straight across the membrane and solids remain on the surface. This method is most effective when dealing with lower concentrations of suspended solids.
Cross-Flow (Tangential Flow):
The water flows across the membrane surface, which minimises the fouling process and enhances the performance of highlysolid industrial ultrafiltration.
To retain performance, contemporary UF Systems consist of:
Ultrafiltration is useful in the removal of:
99.99% of bacteria (such as E. coli)
Viruses
Protozoan cysts (Giardia, Cryptosporidium)
These include silt, clay, and colloidal particles.
Microplastics
Microplastics consist of organic molecules that have a high molecular weight.
Nevertheless, dissolved salts are kept in a solution until they are combined with RO systems or nanofiltration.
Ultrafiltration plants are used on a large scale to substitute traditional sand filters and deliver potable water with low turbidity at all times.
UF in industry: UF acts as a protective measure to Reverse Osmosis membranes in industrial ultrafiltration systems by pre-treating suspended solids.
A combined ultrafiltration water system facilitates sewage recycling (treated), with sewage sludge, to enable industries to cut down on fresh water reliance.

Automation eliminates operator intervention and does not compromise the quality of output.

Membrane fouling occurs when the UF membrane fibers are covered by minute particles, organic matter or bacteria. This causes an increase in the pressure and energy consumption. Extremely contaminated or murky water causes its occurrence to accelerate.
When the membrane is either outdated or damaged by extreme pH or rough particles then bacteria and viruses can permeate them and the water quality decreases. Test the system and change the membrane when necessary.
The pressure builds up when the scale or dirt covers the membrane surface. Wipe off the system rapidly to avoid the damage.
The membrane fibers may be broken by high pressure, rough particles or inadequate pretreatment to limit the production of water. Check counterfeit and components.
The leakages may occur due to the wearing of O-rings or improper installation. Installation- Fittings: Tighten the fittings and change seals during maintenance.
The membrane may easily get dirty within the shortest time, particularly in water with high contents of organic materials, due to fast growth of bacteria or inefficient backwashing.
