Overcome Water Quality Challenges with Membrane Filtration
Consistently meeting water quality requirements is challenging, whether for drinking water supply, industrial processes, or food and beverage production. Membrane filtration provides a proven solution by effectively removing bacteria, viruses, suspended solids, and dissolved contaminants. FILTEC’s ultrafiltration systems help customers maintain operational efficiency, meet regulatory standards, and reduce reliance on chemical treatment.Â
Our Membrane Filtration Solutions
Ultrafiltration Systems
FILTEC’s ultrafiltration systems use fine-pore membranes (0.1–0.01 microns) to effectively remove bacteria, viruses, and suspended solids, ensuring high-quality water with efficient flow rates. Ideal for both drinking water and process water applications as well as pre-treatment for RO membrane systems.
Reverse Osmosis Systems
Our reverse osmosis systems remove dissolved salts, heavy metals, and other contaminants by forcing water through a semi-permeable membrane. These systems produce high-purity water for drinking and industrial processes, ensuring compliance with stringent water quality standards.Â

How Membrane Filtration Works
Membrane filtration works by passing water through a semi-permeable membrane, which removes contaminants based on size and molecular characteristics. Each type of membrane filtration—microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, and reverse osmosis—offers different levels of purification, ensuring tailored solutions for drinking water, wastewater treatment, and industrial applications.Â
FAQs
What are the main advantages of membrane technology?
Membrane-based treatment provides superior contaminant removal, uses minimal chemical additives, and delivers consistently high water quality, making it ideal for drinking water and industrial applications.
How do I choose the right membrane-based solution?
The right system depends on filtration needs. Ultrafiltration removes bacteria and viruses, and reverse osmosis eliminates dissolved salts and heavy metals. FILTEC can assess your requirements and recommend the best solution.
How often do membrane filtration systems need maintenance?
Regular maintenance, including membrane cleaning and system monitoring, ensures optimal performance. FILTEC provides servicing and membrane replacements to extend system lifespan and maintain efficiency.
Can membrane-based treatment replace traditional water treatment methods?
Membrane filtration is a powerful alternative to conventional methods and can be combined with chlorination or UV disinfection to create a multi-barrier approach for complete water safety.
How often do membranes need cleaning or replacement?
Cleaning frequency depends on water quality and operation, but membranes do require periodic cleaning to maintain performance. Ultrafiltration typically lasts 3–5 years and reverse osmosis 5–10 years. FILTEC offers servicing and replacements to maintain long-term efficiency.
