Aquasource* Ultrafiltration (UF) Systems
Smart UF solutions for municipal and industrial clients to produce safe and clean water
Aquasource products have been the UF industry pioneer for over 30 years and have a large portfolio of installations with proven reliable operation. Aquasource develops smart UF solutions for municipal and industrial clients to produce safe and clean water. Our turnkey systems combine process efficiency and heightened installation flexibility, with solutions producing from 50 to more than 100,000 m3/day and can be used alone or in multi-units installations. These systems have been designed both for new projects and for upgrading existing installations.
- Plug & Play systems
- Low maintenance
- ZeeWeed* membrane technology
- Automatic operational management & remote control
Operational Process: A refined operational system developed and optimized through decades of experience
The operation of Aquasource UF systems is fully autonomous and automated. The raw water is first prefiltered, then pumped at a low pressure (< 0.3 bar) into ultrafiltration modules. The membrane acts as a filter for particles larger than 0.02 μm. The system alternates sequences of filtration and backwashing resulting in a stable and long-lasting operational life. Veolia’s Aquasource UF systems has developed processes based on mechanical backwashing during the production phase, with no added chemical reagents. Based on specific customer needs and source water conditions, optional supplementary treatment including acidic, alkaline, or chlorine solutions can be incorporated, but are not required.
A single unified process that simultaneously clarifies and disinfects water
A simple procedure called "low pressure" ultrafiltration permits the clarification and disinfection of water in a single step. A membrane barrier acts like a filter for all particles over 20 nm in size: pollen, algae, bacteria, viruses, germs and organic molecules.
Consistent, high quality pure water
This innovative system delivers pure, fresh-tasting water of superior quality, maintaining excellence regardless of the what the quality or turbidity of the water source.
An environmentally friendly technology
The ultrafiltration process is mechanical: it reduces treatment waste and the need to use chemicals, while conserving the mineral equilibrium of the water.

How it Works
A procedure used by aquasource since 1984
The operation of aquasource systems is fully autonomous and automated. The raw water is first prefiltered. It is then pumped at a low pressure (< 0.3 bar) into ultrafiltration modules (In/ Out). The membrane acts as a filter for particles larger than 0.02 μm. The system alternates sequences of filtration and backwashing resulting in a stable and long-lasting operational life. aquasource has developed processes based on mechanical backwashing during the production phase, with no added chemical reagents. Depending on the client requirements and raw water quality, additional cleaning products can be added (acid, base or chlorine).
- One simple step for both clarifying and disinfecting water
-
A simple procedure called "low pressure" ultrafiltration permits the clarification and disinfection of water in a single step. A membrane barrier acts like a filter for all particles over 20 nm in size: pollen, algae, bacteria, viruses, germs and organic molecules.
- Pure water of consistently high quality
-
This technology guarantees water of consistently high quality, with no taste or odor, no matter what the quality or turbidity of the water source.
- An enviromentally friendly technology
-
The ultrafiltration procedure is mechanical: it reduces treatment waste and the need to use chemicals, while conserving the mineral equilibrium of the water.
