Ultra Filtration Plant

Ultra Filtration as employed by Phoenix is for the removal of solids from treated effluent.

The discharge consents enforced by the Environment Agency have become more stringent and will continue to do so. One major restriction is in the quantity of suspended solids permitted. After filtration the resultant permeate has virtually no solid content.

The Phoenix engineers have employed their knowledge over many years of plant design and working with clients and their operators to produce a flexible and largely automatic plant.
The need for flushing and CIP (Cleaning in Place) is automated, as is the process itself.
 

The Phoenix UF plant is a containerised unit (40 foot) that can be retro-fitted to most any existing treatment plant.
We manufacture the units in our own fabrication works using our own labour allowing close control of build quality.

Ultra Filtration is achieved using multiple banks of the established Koch Membrane.

Units are split into two lanes, allowing one lane to be shut down when less treatment is required. This will extend the life of the filter membranes and save running costs. Another benefit of the two lane system is that permeate production continues during membrane cleaning, albeit at half capacity.

Hot and Cold water cleaning storage tanks are housed behind an insulated bulkhead at the far end of the unit. A bunded area in front of the bulkhead houses the cleaning chemical storage.

Operator interfacing is by way of a control panel mounted touch screen graphic display panel giving access to all parameters and logged data.
Remote access is available via the internet for remote observation, set up changes or download of logs. All via secure tunnelled access and security codes.


As the plant is containerised, delivery is a simple matter of offloading from the lorry onto prepared ground.
Generally for connection, all that is required is a product feed and return pipe, mains water and a suitable power supply. This is a quick installation, standalone unit.

Clients are welcome to visit our works and see their plant in production.
Modification to suit client specific requirements can be accommodated in most cases.
