Title of Process/ Know-how/ Product/Design/Equipment
Flat sheet ultra-filtration (UF) membrane and spiral module making technology for water purification and removal of pathogens
Application/Uses/Problem being addressed
For water disinfection to obtain potable water, water reclamation from effluents and as pre-filter of reverse osmosis
Salient Technical Features including Competing Features/ Impact
The membranes are suitable for the removal of bacteria (6 log reduction), virus (4 log reduction), turbidity and colloidal materials (NTU reduction ≥ 99%) from contaminated water and thus produce safe drinking water. The flux of 40 40 module is 700-1000 LPH at 50 psi operating pressure.
