The current research aims to address the problem of Ultrafiltration Membrane’s (UFM) low productivity in producing clean water that affect the water demand. The novelty of this research is of increasing productivity at a minimum energy consumption performance at optimum clean water production by UFM in association process of control devices (PCD). Experimental research has conducted with UFM, PCD, feed water pump and clean water storage tank. The experimental runs were estimated by central composite design (CCD) and optimization was determined by design of experiments (DOE). The experiment was divided into the three main steps. Step one assesses the effect of the PCD on permeate flux [m³(sqm)-1] by operating the system without, and then with PCD.
