    The document discusses ultrafiltration including its applications in water treatment, dairy, and biotechnology industries. It describes that ultrafiltration uses semipermeable membranes to remove particles between 0.01 to 1 micron in size from liquids. Over time, membrane fouling reduces effectiveness which requires regular cleaning using chemicals like alkaline detergents or acids.

    Introduction

     Ultrafiltration (UF) is a variety of membrane


    filtration in which forces like pressure or
    concentration gradients lead to a separation
    through a semipermeable membrane .
     Ultrafiltration (UF) is used to remove essentially
    all colloidal particles (0.01 to 1.0 microns) from
    water and some of the largest dissolved
    contaminants.
     In general, membrane pores range in size from
    0.005 to 0.1 micron.

    Introduction

    Ultrafiltration will remove :

    • EndotoxinsEndotoxins
    • Plastics Plastics
    Proteins
    • Proteins
    Silica
    • Silica Smog
    • Silt Viruses
    • Smog
    • Viruses

    Continue

    Ultrafiltration can be utilized to accomplish one or more


    of the following:
     concentration of solute by removal of solvent;
     purification of solvent by removal of solute;
     separation of Solute A from Solute B by ultrafiltration through a
    membrane permeable to A but not to B (or vice versa); and
     analysis of a complex solution for specific solutes to which the
    membrane is permeable.

    6
    Applications

    Animal Products Industry


    Red meat production
    Gelatin recovery
    Egg poultry
    Fish industry

    7
    Applications

    Water treatment
     Process water (remove
    oxides,acidsbases,pathogens,inorganic salts etc from
    raw water)
     Drinking water (viruses and various microorganisms
    are removed)
     Waste water(Remove pollution and reduction of waste
    from water

    8
    Applications

    Biotechnological Application………..
    Seperation of microbial cells
    Recovery of enzymes
    Cell washing
    Product purification

    9
    Applications

    Cheese manufacturing
    Cheese whey UF
    Milk
    Fermented products

    10
    Applications

    Other applications include:


    Filtration of effluent from paper pulp mill
    Removal of pathogens from milk
    Fruit juice concentration and clarification
    Alcohol beverage industry
    Vegetable oils
    Sugar industry

    11
    Membrane Fouling

     Overtime the filtrate will accumulate on the membrane surface and


    clog the pores
    • Endotoxins
    Greatly reduces membrane effectiveness and efficiency
    • Plastics
    This reduces the effective TMP of the system ,therefore reducing
    permeation rate .The increase in concentrated layer at the
    • Proteins
    membrane wall decreases the permeate flux,due to increase in
    • Silica
    resistance which reduces the driving force for solvent to transport
    • Silt
    through membrane surface
    • Smog
    • Viruses

    12
    Membrane Fouling

    13
    Maintenance

    Ultrafiltration systems contain extremely fine membrane filters which


    need to be properly cleaned. The cleaning process used depends on
    whether a UF system is being used to remove organic or inorganic
    contaminants, or even both. To remove organic contaminants the general
    cleaning protocol for the cleaning of tubular membranes is to use a low
    foam, medium alkaline detergent at 0.6% to 1% for a maximum of 40 to
    60 minutes. To remove inorganic contaminants the best treatment is with
    citric acid at a maximum concentration of 3.0 %. The acid should circulate
    for 1 to 3 hours. Hydrochloric acid can also be used to clean membranes,
    as can oxalic, sulfuric and nitric acid.

    14
    Benefits

    No need for chemicals (coagulants, flocculates, disinfectants,


    pH adjustment)
    Size-exclusion filtration as opposed to media depth filtration
    Good and constant quality of the treated water in terms of
    particle and microbial removal
    Process and plant compactness
    Simple automation
    Environmently friendly
