Micro and Ultra Filtration
General Summary
Microfiltration is a filtration process which removes contaminants from a fluid (liquid and gas) by passage through a microporous membrane. A typical microfiltration membrane pore size range is 0.1 to 10 micrometres (µm).
Ultrafiltration (UF) is a variety of membrane filtration in which hydrostatic pressure forces a liquid against a semipermeable membrane. Suspended solids and solutes of high molecular weight are retained, while water and low molecular weight solutes pass through the membrane. Ultrafiltration is not fundamentally different from microfiltration or nanofiltration except for the size of molecule it retains.
Applications
Potable water, industrial process water, recycling/reuse of waste or storm water, aquaculture
