What is Ultrafiltration and How Does It Work?
Learn what ultrafiltration (UF) is, how it works, and why Aqualitek’s advanced UF water treatment systems are the best choice for municipal, industrial, and commercial applications worldwide.
Introduction: Why Ultrafiltration Matters
Clean and safe water is essential for households, businesses, and industries. Traditional filtration methods are no longer enough to meet today’s rising demands for high-quality and sustainable water treatment. That’s where ultrafiltration (UF) comes in—a modern solution that delivers efficiency, reliability, and cost savings.
At Aqualitek Water Treatment Technologies Co., Ltd. (AQT), we specialize in advanced UF membrane systems that help cities, industries, and businesses worldwide achieve safe and reliable water purification.
What is Ultrafiltration?
Ultrafiltration (UF) is a membrane-based water treatment technology that removes particles as small as 0.01 microns, including bacteria, viruses, and colloids. Unlike traditional filters, UF delivers consistent water quality without chemicals, making it one of the most sustainable water purification solutions.
With Aqualitek UF systems, you get precision-engineered membranes designed for long life, stable performance, and minimal maintenance.
How Does Ultrafiltration Work?
The UF process is simple but highly effective:
1.Raw Water Inflow – Municipal water, surface water, or wastewater enters the system.
2.UF Membrane Filtration – Contaminants are blocked by the membrane, while clean water passes through.
3.Permeate Output – The result is clear, safe water ready for use.
4.Backwash & Cleaning – Aqualitek UF systems feature automatic backwash and CIP (Clean-in-Place) technology, ensuring reliable performance.
This ensures low operating pressure, low energy consumption, and high output efficiency.
Why Choose Ultrafiltration? Key Benefits
•Removes Bacteria & Viruses – Ensures safe drinking water without chemicals.
•Energy Efficient – Lower pressure and lower energy demand compared to RO.
•Sustainable – Reduces chemical usage and environmental impact.
•Consistent Quality – Stable output water regardless of feed water fluctuations.
•Scalable – From small businesses to large municipal plants, Aqualitek UF systems grow with your needs.

Introduction to Manganese Sand Filter
Manganese Sand Filter (MSF) is an efficient water filtration system specifically designed to remove iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide from water.
The filter utilizes a special manganese dioxide-coated sand media, which acts as an oxidizing agent to convert dissolved iron and manganese into solid particles, allowing them to be easily trapped and removed during the filtration process.
Manganese Sand Filters are commonly used in residential, commercial, and industrial water treatment applications where high levels of these contaminants are present. By improving water quality, preventing staining, and reducing unpleasant tastes and odors, Manganese Sand Filters provide a reliable and cost-effective solution for maintaining clean, clear, and safe water.
Introduction to Green Sand Filter (GSF)
Green Sand Filter (GSF) is an effective water filtration system designed to remove iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide from water. Utilizing a specially treated green sand media, this filter works through the process of oxidation and adsorption, where impurities are trapped within the filter media, ensuring clean, clear water. Green Sand Filters are widely used in both residential and industrial applications where water contains high levels of iron and other minerals that can cause staining, unpleasant odors, and corrosion. By providing an efficient and cost-effective solution for water purification, Green Sand Filters help protect plumbing systems, appliances, and enhance water quality for various applications.
Activated Carbon Filter (ACF)
Our Activated Carbon Filter (ACF) is a highly effective water filtration system designed to remove chlorine, organic compounds, unpleasant odors, and harmful contaminants from water. Utilizing activated carbon’s high adsorption capacity, ACFs efficiently trap and eliminate impurities, improving taste, color, and overall water quality. These filters are widely used in industrial, commercial, and residential applications, serving as a critical pre-treatment step for processes like reverse osmosis (RO) and drinking water purification. With their ability to enhance water safety and meet stringent quality standards, Activated Carbon Filters play a vital role in various water treatment systems.
