Ultrafiltration UF System for Pure Steam Generator Feed
The ultrafiltration uf system for pure steam generator feed is engineered to deliver ultra‑clean water directly to boiler feedwater loops, safeguarding high‑pressure steam generators against fouling, scaling, and corrosion. Designed for power plants, petro‑chemical complexes, and large‑scale industrial facilities, this modular UF solution removes suspended solids, microorganisms, and colloidal contaminants while preserving essential mineral balance for optimal steam quality.
How the System Works
Our UF technology employs hollow‑fiber membranes with a nominal pore size of 0.01 µm. Feedwater enters the pressure vessel, where trans‑membrane pressure forces water molecules through the membrane while retaining particles larger than the cut‑off. The permeate, now free of turbidity and biologic load, flows to the steam generator’s feed line. A back‑flush cycle automatically clears fouling layers, ensuring continuous operation and extending membrane life.

Application Scenarios
- Power generation plants – feedwater for super‑critical and ultra‑supercritical steam turbines.
- Petro‑chemical refineries – high‑purity water for boiler‑driven process heating.
- District heating networks – ensures long‑term reliability of large‑scale steam generators.
- Heavy‑industry workshops – protects on‑site steam generators used for metal treatment.
Competitive Advantages
- Modular design – units can be stacked or paralleled to match any flow requirement without major plant modifications.
- Low energy consumption – optimized hydraulic layout reduces pump power by up to 15 % compared with conventional media filters.
- Extended membrane life – automated back‑flush and chemical‑cleaning protocols deliver a service interval of 12 months on average.
- Compliance – meets ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ASME Section VIII standards for pressure equipment.
- OEM/ODM flexibility – we provide custom housing, control panels, and integration services to align with your existing SCADA system.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for a customized UF system?
Our standard catalogue units start at a 1‑unit MOQ. For fully customized configurations – such as specific membrane material, pressure rating, or integration with proprietary control panels – we typically require a minimum of 3 units to justify tooling and engineering effort.
Can the system be adapted to existing steam generator feed lines?
Yes. The modular housing includes flanged inlet/outlet connections (ANSI B16.5) that match common boiler feed piping sizes (DN50‑DN250). Our engineering team will supply detailed installation drawings to ensure a seamless retrofit.
What lead time should I expect after order confirmation?
Typical lead time ranges from 15 to 45 days, depending on the degree of customization and current production schedule. Rush orders are accommodated with an additional surcharge.
Is there a warranty or after‑sales support package?
All units ship with a 24‑month limited warranty covering materials and workmanship. We also offer optional extended service contracts that include scheduled membrane cleaning, spare‑part kits, and on‑site technical assistance.
