New Inge ultrafiltration modules feature an integrated pre-filter (iP-F). Where conventional ultrafiltration plant processes require a separate pre-filtration manifold to remove debris and particulates, the integrated pre-filter offering combines pre-filtration and ultrafiltration into a single module housing—which can help reduce plant footprint and the associated capital and operational costs of standalone pre-filtration units. The new product line maintains the same membrane materials, dimensions, and drinking water certifications as existing Inge™ UF modules, while combining two filtration steps into one. Inge™ UF modules with iP-F are well suited for new installations, plant expansions, and containerized systems where space efficiency and streamlined operations are critical. Inge™ UF modules with iP‑F can provide consistent permeate quality, pathogen removal, and tolerance to feedwater quality swings—all in a smaller footprint than conventional media filters and traditional UF plant designs with upstream prefilters. System performance and design scenarios can be evaluated using this copmany’s WAVE PRO modeling software, helping customers assess treatment configurations as part of the overall process design.— DuPont Water Solutions, Wilmington, Del.
