Ultrafiltration Equipment Model LFUF-3 Applied In Chemical Plant Water Treatment

Key Advantages

1. High Filtration Efficiency:

• Removes 99.99% of bacteria, viruses, and colloids, ensuring water purity.

2. Energy Savings:

• Low-pressure operation reduces energy consumption by 30% compared to traditional systems.

3. Long Service Life:

• Membrane lifespan of 3–5 years with proper maintenance.

4. Easy Maintenance:

• Modular design allows quick replacement of individual components.

5. Chemical Resistance:

• PVDF/PES membranes withstand harsh chemicals, making it suitable for industrial wastewater.

6. Customization:

• Available in 12 standard models (e.g., LFUF-2, LFUF-4) with scalable flow rates.

Working Principle

The LFUF-3 operates on the principle of cross-flow ultrafiltration, where water flows tangentially across the membrane surface, minimizing fouling and maximizing efficiency:

1. Raw Water Inlet:

• Water enters the system and passes through pretreatment filters to remove large particles.

2. Membrane Filtration:

• High-pressure pumps force water through the ultrafiltration membrane, separating contaminants from permeate.

3. Backwashing:

• Automated backwash cycles flush accumulated solids from the membrane, maintaining performance.

4. Permeate Collection:

• Clean water is stored or reused, while concentrate (rejected contaminants) is discharged or recycled.

Application in Chemical Plant Water Treatment

Chemical plants require ultra-clean water for processes like cooling, boiler feed, and product rinsing. The LFUF-3 excels in:

1. Wastewater Reclamation:

• Treats wastewater containing heavy metals, oils, and solvents, enabling safe reuse or discharge.

2. Process Water Purification:

• Ensures particle-free water for reactors, heat exchangers, and cleaning systems.

3. Reverse Osmosis (RO) Pre-Treatment:

• Protects RO membranes by removing colloids and organic matter, extending membrane life by 50%.

Case Study: A chemical plant in China reduced water usage by 40% and RO membrane replacement costs by 60% using the LFUF-3 system.
