Potable water

We design, supply, install and rehabilitate potable water treatment plants, covering both the civil structures and the electromechanical equipment inside them.

Civil works

  • Clarifiers
  • Rapid sand filters

Electromechanical works

  • Pump impellers
  • Surface preparation and painting

Ultrafiltration systems

Ultrafiltration (UF) is a variety of membrane filtration in which hydrostatic pressure forces a liquid against a semipermeable membrane. Suspended solids and solutes of high molecular weight are retained, while water and low molecular weight solutes pass through the membrane.

This separation process is used in industry and research for purifying and concentrating macromolecular solutions, especially protein solutions. Ultrafiltration is not fundamentally different from microfiltration, nanofiltration or gas separation, except in terms of the size of the molecules it retains. Ultrafiltration is applied in cross-flow or dead-end mode, and separation in ultrafiltration undergoes concentration polarization.
