Micron / Membrane Filtration
About
Micron / Membrane Filtration
Micron filtration is to segregate or separate particulate matter based on its size. Sewing, screening, or surface filtration are also types of surface filtration based on the size of the particulate matter. When the requirement of filtration is less than 0.2 microns, then membrane filtration is also used. In water and wastewater treatment, this type of filter is essential.
Micron/membrane filtration is a type of water treatment that uses a semipermeable membrane to remove particles and contaminants from water. The membrane has pores that are small enough to block particles and contaminants, but large enough to allow water molecules to pass through.
Micron/membrane filtration is used in a variety of industries, including:
- Drinking water treatment
- Wastewater treatment
- Industrial water treatment
- Food and beverage processing
- Pharmaceutical manufacturing
Benefits of Micron / Membrane Filtration
Depth filtration offers a number of benefits, including:
High removal efficiency
Micron/membrane filtration systems are very effective at removing particles and contaminants from water.
Low energy consumption
Micron/membrane filtration systems consume less energy than other types of water treatment systems, such as reverse osmosis systems.
Low operating costs
Micron/membrane filtration systems have low operating costs, making them a cost-effective solution for a variety of industries.
Types of Micron / Membrane Filtration
There are two main types of micron/membrane filtration:
Microfiltration (MF): MF membranes have pores that are typically 0.1 to 10 microns in size. MF membranes can be used to remove bacteria, cysts, and other large particles from water.
Ultrafiltration (UF): UF membranes have pores that are typically 0.001 to 0.1 microns in size. UF membranes can be used to remove viruses, colloids, and other small particles from water.
How Micron / Membrane Filtration Works?
Micron/membrane filtration systems typically consist of a series of filter modules. Each filter module contains a membrane that is made of a variety of materials, such as polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) or polyethersulfone (PES).
The water is pumped into the filter modules. As the water passes through the membranes, the particles and contaminants are trapped in the pores. The treated water is then collected and discharged from the micron/membrane filtration system.
