It is used for separation of large organic molecules and the colloidal solids at a pressure in the range of 5-10 bars. The Ultrafiltration membrane is micro porous with separation range up to 0.1 microns which is roughly the size of virus.
Nanofiltration is used for removing monovalent ions and is mainly dependent on the material and manufacture of membrane.
Ultrafiltration and Nanofiltration cartridges are available which can be fitted inside the special housing.
