Membrane-Grade Water Without Removing Minerals
UF delivers consistently low-turbidity, bacteria-free water at low energy cost. It is ideal as a stand-alone drinking water system, as a reliable pre-treatment that protects RO membranes, and for polishing treated sewage for reuse. Recurring drought and ageing municipal infrastructure are pushing industries and estates towards on-site treatment and reuse.
Why Ultrafiltration Is Growing in South Africa
South Africa's mining, automotive, chemical and food industries, along with growing residential estates, require reliable treatment and water-recycling systems. Industries and buildings want consistent, high-quality water, longer RO membrane life and safe reuse of treated wastewater.
- Pathogen removal: UF membranes physically block bacteria and viruses for safer water.
- Better RO performance: UF pre-treatment reduces RO fouling and extends membrane life.
- Reuse-quality water: UF polishes STP and ETP outlet water to reuse standards.
- Local industry demand: South Africa's mining, automotive, food and beverage and chemical sectors use UF to protect RO plants, polish treated effluent and produce consistent process water.

UF Systems We Supply in South Africa
Ultrafiltration (UF) is a membrane process that works at moderate pressure, with pore sizes of about 0.01 to 0.1 micrometres, to remove suspended solids, colloids, bacteria and viruses while retaining essential minerals in the water. Explore our complete range of Ultrafiltration (UF) System.
| UF System | Purpose | Key Features |
|---|---|---|
| Drinking Water UF | Clean, safe drinking water free of suspended solids and bacteria | High flow, low energy, easy maintenance |
| Industrial UF | Process water, cooling systems and RO pre-treatment | Robust design for high volumes |
| Wastewater UF | Polishing treated sewage and effluent for reuse | Reduces fouling and extends system life |

FAQs: UF System in South Africa
Do you supply ultrafiltration systems in South Africa?
Yes. Portico Environmental Services designs, manufactures, supplies, installs and commissions UF systems in South Africa, supplying projects in Johannesburg, Pretoria and Durban as an exporter from India.
What is the difference between UF and RO?
UF removes suspended solids, bacteria and viruses but retains dissolved minerals, and works at lower pressure. RO also removes dissolved salts. UF is often used before RO to protect the RO membranes.
Can UF be used to reuse treated sewage?
Yes. UF is widely used to polish STP outlet water for reuse in flushing, gardening and cooling towers.
How often do UF membranes need cleaning?
UF systems backwash automatically at set intervals, with periodic chemically enhanced backwash. Frequency depends on feed water quality, and we set it during commissioning.
Do you provide UF membranes and service in South Africa?
Yes. We supply UF membranes, chemicals and spares and provide operation and maintenance support.
