The invention relates to a mechanically stable ultrafiltration membrane and to a method for producing such an ultrafiltration membrane.

There is provided a filtration system comprising a first vessel, a second vessel and a separation layer. The first vessel is adapted to receive a liquid phase. The second vessel is in fluid communication with the first vessel and is adapted to receive a permeate of the liquid phase. The separation layer separates the first vessel and the second vessel. The separation layer is porous and the pores allow for the filtering of the liquid phase. The separation layer comprises a graphitic material, crosslinkers and a polymer coating.
