DOW™ ultrafiltration (UF) modules are manufactured with mechanically strong polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) hollow fiber membranes. These modules not only provide excellent performance, but also have industry-leading membrane area, making them a trusted choice in the industry. These modules have the following features and benefits:
With a nominal pore size of 0.03 microns, they can effectively remove bacteria, viruses, particulates, including colloids, thereby protecting downstream processes such as reverse osmosis (RO) systems.
PVDF polymer hollow fibers have high mechanical strength and excellent chemical resistance, ensuring long membrane life and reliable operation.
PVDF fibers are hydrophilic and easy to clean and wet, helping to maintain long-term performance.
The external flow configuration allows for the treatment of a wide range of solids in the feed water, minimizes the need for pretreatment processes, and reduces the amount of backwash compared to the internal flow configuration. The U-PVC housing helps eliminate the need for expensive pressure vessels.
The 2860 model is shorter in length, suitable for smaller systems and where building height is restricted. The 2880 model has a larger membrane area and occupies the same floor space, providing a more economical design.
DOW ultrafiltration modules can be widely used in various treatment applications, including surface water, seawater, and industrial and municipal wastewater treatment. Its excellent performance and flexibility make it an important part of the water treatment field, providing efficient and reliable filtration solutions for various scenarios.

Operating Parameters
Important information
Proper start-up of a UF system is indispensable for preparing the membranes for operational service and preventing membrane damage. Adhering to the correct start-up sequence also contributes to ensuring that the operating parameters of the system conform to the design specifications, thereby enabling the attainment of system water quality and productivity targets. Before commencing the system start-up procedures, membrane pretreatment, installation of the membrane modules, instrument calibration, and other system checks should be accomplished. Kindly refer to the product technical manual.
Operation guidelines
Avoid any sudden pressure fluctuations during start-up, shutdown, cleaning or other processes to prevent potential membrane damage. Flush the UF system to eliminate the shipping solution before start-up. Remove the residual air from the system before start-up. Manually initiate the equipment. Aim for a permeate flow of 60% of the design during the initial operations. Depending on the application, the permeate obtained from the initial operations should be disposed of. Please refer to the product technical manual.
Regulatory note
NOTICE: NSF/ANSI 61 certified drinking water modules demand specific conditioning procedures before generating potable water. Please refer to the flushing section of the product technical manual for detailed procedures. Drinking water modules might be subject to additional regulatory constraints in certain countries. Please verify local regulatory guidelines and the application status before usage and sale.
The utilization of this product does not inevitably ensure the elimination of cysts and pathogens from water. Effective reduction of cysts and pathogens depends on the complete system design as well as the operation and maintenance of the system.
