ELGA LC151 Ultrafilter, 5000 UF

ELGA LC151 Endoguard 5000 UF membrane is ideal for water treatment processes. It removes contaminants and particulate matter from water sources. This ultra-filtration cartridge is useful in pharmaceuticals, food & beverage and wastewater treatment operations. Its ultrafiltration (UF) capabilities enable the retention of particles, bacteria and macromolecules, resulting in high-quality water.

Features:

• ELGA LC151 Endoguard 5000 UF membrane can handle temperatures up to 95 degrees F.
• This ultra-filtration cartridge can withstand pressures up to 60 psi.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. Can this ultra-filtration cartridge remove metal from the water?

A. This ELGA membrane can filter out any metal or non-metal particles, larger than 5000 Daltons, from water.

Q. What is the difference between UF and other membrane filtration technologies?

A. UF differs from other membrane filtration technologies, such as microfiltration (MF) and nanofiltration (NF) primarily in terms of pore size and the size range of particles removed. UF has larger pore sizes compared to NF and smaller pore sizes compared to MF.

Q. Do UF cartridges tend to clog?

A. If proper pre-treatment measures are not followed, UF cartridges may foul and clog, especially if the water source contains high levels of suspended solids or organic matter. Regular maintenance, such as backwashing and cleaning, can prevent fouling and ensure consistent performance.

Q. Can this UF cartridge soften the water?

A. ELGA LC151 membrane is not particularly useful for softening water. However, you can achieve comprehensive water purification by adding water purification system accessories, such as softeners and sediment filters.
