How UF Membrane Works
UF (Ultrafiltration) membranes use a semi-permeable hollow-fibre structure with pore sizes of 0.01–0.1 micron to physically block suspended solids, bacteria, and large viruses while allowing water and dissolved minerals to pass through. This is a purely physical barrier process — no coagulants or flocculants are required to achieve clarity, making UF a low-chemical, low-maintenance filtration stage.
Grafil UF membranes, supplied by QuaSys Inc., are built with PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) fibres chosen for mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and long service life under repeated backwash cycles.
UF vs RO: What's the Difference?
UF and RO solve different problems — UF removes suspended solids and microorganisms, while RO additionally rejects dissolved salts. UF is commonly used as pre-treatment ahead of RO to protect the finer RO membrane from fouling. See our UF vs MBR membrane guide for a related comparison.

Frequently Asked Questions — UF Membrane
Who is a reliable UF membrane supplier in India?+
QuaSys Inc. is an authorized dealer of Grafil UF membranes, supplying clients across India with correct sizing based on flow rate and water quality, complete technical documentation, and installation support. Call +91 95408 15659 for a quote.
What is the difference between UF and RO membrane?+
UF membranes have pore sizes of 0.01-0.1 micron and remove suspended solids, bacteria and large viruses but not dissolved salts. RO membranes are far finer and reject dissolved salts too — UF is often used as RO pre-treatment to protect the RO membrane from fouling.
What is the price of a UF membrane in India?+
UF membrane pricing depends on module surface area and system configuration. QuaSys Inc. provides a specification-based quotation once we understand your flow rate and application. Call +91 95408 15659 or share your requirement for a free quote.
Can UF membrane be used for borewell water purification?+
Yes, UF membrane is commonly used for borewell and surface water purification, removing suspended solids, turbidity, and microbiological contamination without chemical dosing.
