Can UF remove the chlorine from water? If yes then 0.03Micron how much have Capability to remove chlorine from water?
Thank you!
UF can not remove chlorine. Activated carbon remove chlorine very efficiently. Good UF can remove particke size larger than 10-30 nm.

1. Can media Filtration including Sand Filter & granulated Activated Carbon filter replace with UF ?
2. Can UF have ability to remove the Organic matter & compound from Raw water ? as Activated carbon have ability to remove the organic matter.

No. Use activated carbon.

No but SMBS can be used for chlorine removal effectively.

You can use also activated carbon for Chlorine removal.

UF is not for Chlorine removal and is mostly compatible with Chlorine. You have to choose a suitable de-chlorination process based on your application.

Hi Naveed,
Check your UF membrane specification to see if it is compatible with chlorine. Many will tolerate some level of chlorine. I often use a type of UF membrane that will tolerate VERY high levels of chlorine.
As mentioned you can add SMBS (sodium metabisulfite) to remove the chlorine (this will result in chloride being formed), however, depending on your application and system you might also be able to remove chlorine using sunlight or a UV lamp.
Regards,
Daniel

UF cannot remove Chlorine in the water. Look for the filtration spectrum pdf file in google to find out what can MF, UF, NF and RO can remove. UF uses a membrane material and is classied as a separattion process. if you want to remove chlorine from water you can use carbon filter or SMBS dosing.

As already mentioned, chlorine is likely to damage a UF membrane.

Hallo Mr. Fakhar,
before using an UF / RO membran module the chlorine has to be removed. The old way - with all it`s negative impacts - is NaHSO3.
The best way - with much more positive impacts - is HOD-UV from Atlantium.
For more infos pls contact me.

UF can only remove suspended solids or colloidal particles, but not soluble compounds like salts or organic matter. Chlorines is solved, so not removed with UF. It is the other way around, chlorine affects the membrane lifetime of polymeric membranes.

Thanks Sergi for valued comments. kindly let me know that if want to replace the Sand , Activated Carbon , 5 & 1 Micron with UF is it
compatible. as you said that UF could not remove the organic matter but the activated Carbon can remove the organic matter?
