Like ROs and UFs, NF systems are advanced filtration technologies used for water purification. Their membranes are designed to filter water with low total dissolved solids (TDS) to remove organic substances and soften water.
Even though NF and RO systems boast similar design and operation uses, notably drinking water purification, industrial use, wastewater treatment, as well as agriculture, there are some differences between the two. The primary difference is that NF isn’t as rigid as RO. It operates with lesser feed water pressure and can’t remove single charge ions from the water as precisely as reverse osmosis membranes. Moreover, while up to 99% of chlorides and sodium are eradicated by reverse osmosis systems, NF membranes typically remove 50% to 80%, dependent on the type of material and manufacturing of the membrane. As a result of its effectiveness in eliminating multiple charge ions, it is the go-to choice for removing hardness from water while not affecting the TDS.
Energy-efficient and cost-effective, NF systems can be custom-designed and manufactured to meet tailored client needs. At Rizara Technologies Limited, we’re accustomed to various types of NFs. Our extensive knowledge can help you settle on an NF that is perfect for you, whether you’re looking for water softening, industrial water treatment, or drinking water purification.
