Fluytec has revolved around conventional Ultrafiltration technology in order to develop a new generation of UF, which is capable of granting a constant product flow even during cleanings (Backwash, Flushing, Rinsing and Chemically Enhanced Flushing). This innovation eliminates the need for backwash pumps and blowers, buffer/backwash tanks and transfer pumps to the process located downstream (i.e. Reverse Osmosis). This enables the user to take advantage of the following main benefits:
• CONTINUOUS PRODUCTION Even During Cleanings
• LOWER FOOTPRINT (50%)
• LOWER CAPITAL and OPERATIONAL EXPENDITURES
The c-UF technology achieves a Continuous Permeate Production by cleaning each UF module at a time. The Upgraded Cleaning Sequence devised by Fluytec consists of a combination of flushing,backwashing and rinsing phases, during which UF permeate flow is maintained constant.
Permeate flow remains constant even during the Chemically Enhanced Cleanings, which is developed with no chemical leak to the permeate stream.
Fluytec manufactures c-UF units that are factory programmed and tested, ready to be interconnected and started up on site.
Fluytec also offers c-UF units Integrated in RO Systems, mounted in a common skid or container.
