Is water with turbidity greater than 10 NTU and MO greater than 15 suitable for the ultrafiltration process?

Hello,

Ultrafiltration can be adapted to the treatment of this water; however, the maximum turbidity must be validated (average and peak values / the limits are around 100 and 300 mg/l respectively). For OM, depending on the type of resource and the nature of the OM, we can decide on the feasibility of UF based on our experience with the type of water (tertiary treatment of waste water, for example: 30 mg /l of MO OK) or carry out laboratory tests.

Please contact us with the other project parameters (nature of the resource, processing objective, throughput, etc.) for a more detailed response.
