Ultra Filtration (UF)
Hydroxy designs Ultrafiltration systems to remove suspended solids, turbidity, colloidal particles and microorganisms—delivering high-quality filtered water for residential, commercial, institutional and industrial applications.
Ultra Filtration (UF)
Ultrafiltration is a pressure-driven membrane filtration process designed to remove suspended solids, fine particles, colloidal matter and microorganisms while allowing water and dissolved salts to pass through the membrane.
UF is particularly effective where consistently low-turbidity water is required or where conventional filtration alone may not provide sufficient protection for downstream processes.
Hydroxy Water Technologies designs site-specific Ultrafiltration systems based on feed-water characteristics, turbidity, suspended-solids loading, required treated-water quality, plant capacity and operating conditions.
From pre-filtration and membrane separation to automatic backwashing, chemical cleaning and process controls, Hydroxy integrates every stage into a complete UF treatment system designed for reliable filtration, consistent output quality and efficient long-term performance.
Cleaner Water Through Advanced Membrane Filtration
Water from borewells, surface sources and storage systems can contain fine suspended particles, turbidity and microorganisms that affect water clarity and overall usability.
Hydroxy provides residential and community UF systems designed around the characteristics of the incoming water and required treatment capacity.

Engineered Around Your Feed-Water Quality
An Ultrafiltration system should not be selected simply according to litres per hour. UF membrane performance depends on the quality of the incoming water, suspended-solids concentration, turbidity, organic loading, required permeate quality and operating conditions.
Water with excessive solids or unsuitable feed characteristics may require appropriate pre-treatment to reduce membrane fouling and maintain stable filtration performance.
Hydroxy evaluates important design parameters such as:
- Turbidity, Suspended Solids
- Feed-Water Source & Organic Loading
- pH, Iron & Manganese
- Required Permeate Quality
- Required Flow Capacity
- Operating Hours
- Backwash Requirements
Based on these conditions, a UF treatment system may incorporate:
- Screening & Pre-Filtration
- Multimedia Filtration
- Activated Carbon Treatment
- Chemical Conditioning, where required
- UF Membrane Modules
- Feed / Transfer Pumps
- Chemical-Enhanced Cleaning
- Flow & Pressure Monitoring
- Turbidity Monitoring
- Automated Control System
- Automatic Backwashing
- Clean-in-Place provisions, where required
*The result is an Ultrafiltration system engineered around the actual feed-water conditions rather than a standard membrane package.
How It Works?!
Hydroxy follows a structured engineering approach to ensure that pre-treatment, UF membranes, cleaning cycles and controls work together as one integrated treatment process.
We understand the water source, water quality, required treatment capacity, operating hours and intended application.
Important feed-water parameters are evaluated to identify turbidity, suspended solids and other conditions that may influence UF membrane performance.
Screening, filtration or other appropriate pre-treatment processes are selected where necessary to protect the UF membranes and manage incoming contaminant loads.
Feed water passes through fine membrane pores that retain suspended particles, colloids and microorganisms while filtered water passes through as permeate.
The membrane system periodically performs backwashing and, where required, chemical-enhanced cleaning to remove accumulated contaminants and restore filtration performance.
Flow, pressure, turbidity and operating cycles can be monitored and controlled automatically to support stable system performance.
The complete UF system is installed, tested and commissioned according to the specified operating conditions and treated-water requirements.
Hydroxy supports continued performance through preventive maintenance, membrane cleaning, chemical support, replacement components and system optimisation.
Why Hydroxy?
Successful Ultrafiltration requires more than simply installing membrane modules. UF performance depends on correctly understanding the feed-water characteristics, contaminant loading, membrane flux, pre-treatment requirements, backwash strategy and cleaning cycles.
Incorrect system sizing or inadequate pre-treatment can contribute to excessive membrane fouling, frequent cleaning, reduced water production and higher operating costs.
Hydroxy combines water treatment engineering, membrane technology, process integration, automation, practical site execution and responsive lifecycle support to deliver UF systems designed for dependable long-term performance.
Our engineering approach begins with one important question: "What does your feed water require for reliable membrane filtration?"
Key Benifits
A correctly engineered RO system combines pre-treatment, membrane separation and monitoring to deliver more stable and predictable product-water quality.
The membrane process can retain suspended contaminants and many microorganisms, making UF an effective treatment stage for applications requiring a higher level of physical filtration.
UF can provide effective pre-treatment before Reverse Osmosis by reducing turbidity and suspended contaminants that may contribute to downstream membrane fouling.
Hydroxy UF systems can incorporate automated filtration, backwashing and cleaning cycles to maintain membrane performance with reduced operator intervention.
When correctly engineered with suitable pre-treatment and controls, UF can help manage fluctuations in suspended-solids and turbidity levels more effectively than conventional filtration alone.
Hydroxy designs UF systems according to feed-water quality, required permeate capacity, operating hours and end-use requirements rather than relying on a standard system configuration.
