Seccua introduces ultrafiltration system for drinking water treatment

07 April 2009

Seccua has launched a drinking water ultrafiltration installation, which has been particularly designed for use in households, small individual water supplies, restaurants and catering businesses.

 

The Spot Pro installation from Seccua operates at a peak flow rate of up to 36 litres/min (9.5 GPM) and filters turbidity and pathogens out of the water in a single step without the use of chemicals.
 
Seccua has developed the X-Spot Pro to remove more than 99.99 percent of all pathogens, including viruses, legionella and E Coli, as well as turbidity. Following filtration, the water can be used for drinking, cooking and washing.
 
The SeccuMem Pro membrane module developed by Seccua offers particular protection. The module contains a sturdy hollow fibre membrane made of high-performance material and has a pore size of only 15 nanometers, which enables it to reliably retain pathogens. Dissolved minerals easily pass through the membrane. To minimize the water consumption needed for self-cleaning, the X-Spot Pro automatically detects the degree of contamination of the filter by monitoring the pressure differential as a function of the flow rate, and only flushes the filters when it is actually necessary.
