Ultrafiltration is a system which separates water particles between reverse osmosis and microfiltration. It can be described as synthetic membrane filtration which is used to separate various macromolecules, colloids, viruses and bacteria. It operates at low pressures in comparison to reverse osmosis, almost without causing any alterations to the water mineralization. The Ionicore UF ultrafiltration membrane is produced with polysulphone capillaries, allowing water to pass from outside to inside without rejection, with nominal filtration at 0,01 microns and a maximum recommended flow of 4 lt/min. The average useful life of the system is 12.000 litres or one year, if water used is dechlorinated and with pre-filter. The recommended work pressure for the membrane is between 0,5 and 8,2 bars. The Ionicore UF ultrafiltration membrane applications are numerous, ideal for water cooler dispensers, reverse osmosis and microfiltration systems. Ready to use, has no need of housing.
Thechnical data
– Micron rating: 0,01 micron
– Max pressure: 120psi (8,2bar)
– Burst pressure: 500psi (34,4bar)
– Max temperature: 113°F (45°C)
– Flow rate: (1gpm) 4lt./min.
– Service life: (3.174gal.) 12.000lt.
– Dimensions DxH (mm.): 62,2×280(mm.) – 2,5”x11″(In.)
– Activation: it’s advisable to run water through membrane at maximum pressure and full flow rate, for at least 5 minutes to allow air purging and flushing.
– Membrane change: When capacity is reached, or when flow comes too slow (precipitates under 0,7bar/10psi), every 12 months.
