newterra’s patented MicroClear® fi lter consists of a series of durable, specially designed polypropylene plates sandwiched by ultrafi ltration (UF) membranes. The fi lters are submerged in mixed liquor in a separate membrane tank, while clean permeate is drawn through the membranes using a slight negative pressure. The 0.04 μm pores of the membranes physically block particles, bacteria and viruses.
newterra´s MicroClear® membranes provide extremely high-quality fi ltrate that meets or exceed most regulatory requirements.
newterra´s immersed fl at sheet ultrafi ltration type membrane fi ltration system draws water through the membranes by means of a low-pressure vacuum. Treated water drawn through the membranes is pumped out (or gravity fed) to the treated water discharge point.
