Ultrafiltration (UF) Systems

Compact, modular & effective pretreatment for industrial wastewater  

ENCON Ultrafiltration (UF) Systems are an efficient solution for pretreating industrial wastewater before final treatment or disposal. Ultrafiltration uses semi-permeable membranes to remove suspended solids, oils, and high-molecular-weight contaminants from wastewater streams, producing a clarified permeate and concentrated reject stream.

UF systems are ideal for operations where reducing solids loading to downstream processes—such as evaporators —is a priority. They are also highly effective in closed-loop reuse systems, where consistent water quality is critical.

How it works 

ENCON Ultrafiltration Systems operate by forcing wastewater through hollow-fiber or spiral-wound membranes. Contaminants larger than the membrane pore size (typically 0.01–0.1 microns) are retained, while water and smaller dissolved materials pass through.

This physical barrier method requires no chemical additives and is effective for:

  • Suspended solids
  • Oil & grease
  • Emulsions

System Features 

  • Modular design: Easy to scale and integrate with existing treatment systems.
  • Small footprint: Compact layout suitable for space-constrained facilities.
  • Automatic operation: PLC-controlled for ease of use and minimal supervision.
  • Backflushing & cleaning cycles: Extend membrane life and maintain efficiency.
  • Robust construction: Industrial-grade components for long-term performance.

Typical Ultrafiltration (UF) Applications:

  • Metal finishing & plating
  • Paint & coatings
  • Food & beverage
  • Chemical manufacturing
  • Cannabis cultivation
  • General manufacturing with high-solid waste streams
