The combination Actiflo – MF/UF membrane: an efficient solution for surface waters

Summary

Process schemes of surface water treatment with membrane filtration in most cases at the final stage require advanced clarification technologies that provide for efficient removing color and high concentrations of organic and suspended solids from raw water. Therefore, «Actiflo^® – ultra- and microfiltration» process scheme is the optimal solution for drinking water purification. The results of pilot tests of «Actiflo^® – ultra- and microfiltration» process scheme are presented. The experience of operating the plants using this scheme is generalized.
