Ultrafiltration (UF)
Greenchain’s Ultrafiltration (UF) systems are engineered for consistently high water quality, combining robust performance, cost efficiency, and precision membrane technology. Each system is designed with a holistic approach, considering your operational requirements, water source variability, and long-term maintenance needs.
As a Turnkey Provider, we design and manufacture UF systems using trusted local and international components, ensuring streamlined delivery from process design to installation, documentation, and ongoing optimisation. Our solutions serve industrial, agricultural, hospitality, municipal, and food & beverage operations, providing peace of mind and operational continuity.
How Ultrafiltration (UF) Works
Precision Filtration That Protects Your Operations
Ultrafiltration (UF) relies on fine membrane pores (±0.03 µm) to physically separate contaminants from water. This allows removal of suspended solids, micro-organic matter, bacteria, viruses, and other impurities, producing clean permeate while backwashing collected waste.
By maintaining stable water quality regardless of feedwater fluctuations, UF protects downstream equipment, ensures compliance, and improves operational efficiency. UF can also function as pre-treatment for Reverse Osmosis or ultra-pure water production, enhancing overall system performance.
Benefits of UF for your business
Comprehensive Contaminant Removal
Effectively eliminates suspended solids, pathogens, and micro-organic matter to safeguard your operations.
Energy-Smart Filtration
Low operating pressures reduce energy consumption while maintaining high performance.
Compact, Modular Design
Skid-mounted or packaged solutions save space and simplify installation in existing facilities.
Chemical-Free Operation
No additional chemicals are required, reducing operational complexity and costs.
Ideal Pre-Treatment
Optimises water quality for downstream processes like RO, desalination, or ultra-pure water production.
Sustainable System Design
Our UF systems are designed with a holistic view, considering water efficiency, operational optimisation, and opportunities for reuse and reclamation.

UF Maintenance & Servicing
Keep Performing Optimally
Ongoing UF servicing helps maintain membrane performance, protect your equipment and keep treated water quality consistent. Our team monitors the system over time, carrying out essential maintenance and addressing potential issues before they become operational problems.
Our servicing includes:
-
Scheduled membrane cleaning CIP
-
Performance monitoring, checking pressure differentials and flow rates
-
Equipment inspections and carrying out repairs where required
-
System hygiene checks, sanitisation and leak inspections
Regular servicing helps reduce fouling, operational risk and downtime, while giving you a trusted team to turn to when your system needs attention.
Featured Project
Containerised ultrafiltration reuse system for an abattoir
Greenchain Group designed and delivered a containerised industrial water treatment system for an abattoir in Tshabong, Botswana. The project was developed to reclaim and reuse treated wastewater within the facility, reducing freshwater demand while supporting more sustainable water management practices.
