How membranes work
Membranes are based on filtration methods
found throughout nature. ZeeWeed membranes
are hollow polymer fibers with billions of
microscopic pores on the surface. The pores
are much smaller in size than common
contaminants, bacteria and viruses. This
physical barrier only allows clean water to
pass through while rejecting impurities—
guaranteeing an exceptional water quality
and clarity on a continuous basis. Application
of pressure outside or a slight vacuum inside
is all that is required to draw water into
the membrane and filter out impurities.

Wastewater Treatment Systems ZeeWeed * packaged plants provide
large-scale performance in a compact
pre-assembled system
Incorporating a simple and expandable building-block
design, GE packaged plants can be quickly set up in
virtually any location and feature scalable treatment
capacity that can be increased as demand grows. These
highly automated, plug-and-play UF systems outperform
conventional treatment alternatives in all categories,
offering superior treated water quality that meets or
exceeds regulatory requirements, reduced operating costs,
smaller plant footprints, and highly reliable performance—
at a price that is comparable to conventional systems.
