Valve Drain DAYLIFF BUF4 Ultrafiltration plants are highly effective, easy to operate and simple to maintain systems that offer the ideal solution for small and medium scale water treatment requirements. Their particular application is for the removal of particles, colloidal material, sand, organic and inorganic polymeric particles.

• System monitoring instruments including product flow meter and pressure gauges. • Skid mounted for simple installation. DAYLIFF BUF4 systems provide a high performance, high efficiency treatment process that produces fully potable water without chemical additions. The process uses low energy consumption and provides consistent quality without frequent operational intervention.

1.1 Working Principle Ultrafiltration (UF) involves pressure-driven separation of materials from a feed solution. The technology is used to remove particulate and microbial contaminants, but it does not remove ions and small molecules. Pressure drives the process, which typically operates with a feed pressure of 0.2 to 2bar.
They offer the following features:- Ÿ Fully automated plant operation including normal filtration and flushing cycle. Ÿ High efficiency single Dayliff feed/backwash/Cleaning pump saving energy, i.e. Low CAPEX and OPEX. Ÿ Integrated automated backwash/flushing/cleaning process.
If the system is designed and installed to the conditions shown but the feed water quality is not maintained as required, then consult a Dayliff retailer. WARNING Depending on application, a safety screen of 120 microns is recommended on the feed to the UF system, which must be frequently cleaned at least once a day depending on the quality of water.
3.3 Start Up and Start-up pre-checks Once the UF membranes supplied loose along with the equipment are installed inside the housing that carry the membranes, the following procedures should be followed for the start-up of Ultrafiltration unit. Manually start the equipment during initial operation. Flush the UF unit to remove the particles, debri and preservative storage solution before operating the equipment.

4.2 Fouling There are four types of fouling common to UF operations including particulate, biological, inorganic, and organic. Particulate fouling is caused by suspended solids, colloids, and turbidity that can be reduced by coagulation, sedimentation, clarification, and media filtration. The common cleaning method for particulate fouling is air scour and backwash.
5. TROUBLE SHOOTING This troubleshooting guide can assist you in identifying common operating problems you may experience with your machine. The operator can easily correct many of these problems; however, for those that persist or are not understood, you should contact the Davis and Shirtliff Technical support team.
