Ultrafiltration Process
Ultrafiltration is the only regenerable filtration process. While a microporous membrane filter removes particles according to pore size, an ultrafiltration (UF) membrane functions as a molecular sieve that separates dissolved molecules on the basis of size. The UF accomplishes this by passing a solution through an extremely fine filter.

Eco-RO Reverse Osmosis System
To maintain the economical advantages of utilizing a reverse osmosis system, such as reduced maintenance and replacement costs, Eco-Tec has designed specific equipment configurations. The Eco-RO reverse osmosis system prevents rapid membrane fouling, and can extend membrane life up to five years, while consistently producing high-purity water.
Request additional information from Eco-Tec Inc.

Mazzei AirJection Wastewater Aeration
Wastewater is pumped through one or more high-efficiency Mazzei Injectors, forcing air or oxygen to aspirate into the wastewater. The resulting gas/water mixture is discharged back into the basin through Mazzei Mass Transfer Multiplier Nozzles for greater oxygen transfer.
Request additional information from Mazzei Injector Corporation.
