A physical separation process where tiny, hollow filaments members separate particles from water.
A membrane filtration process which removes contaminants from a liquid by passage through a microporous membrane. The pore size of a typical microfiltration membrane ranges from 0.1 to 10 micrometres. Microfiltration can remove many pathogens from water including Giardia, Cryptosporidium and large bacteria.
A pressure-driven membrane operation in which very fine particles or other suspended matter are separated from a liquid. Microfiltration is capable of removing suspended solids, bacteria or other impurities. Membrane pore sizes are slightly larger than those used for ultrafiltration.
It is the filtration that removes bacteria and particles in the range of 0.1 to 3 microns in diameter.
A process for filtering water by forcing it through a screen with very small pores (0.1 to 2 microns in diameter).
Used for clarification, sterilization, to detect or analyze bacteria and other organisms and particulate matter. Separation of particles ranging from 0.1mm to 10mm from a fluid by passing the fluid through a membrane.
the use of microporous filters operating under pressure to remove particles or microorganisms of 0·1-5·0 µm size from process and effluent liquids
The separation or removal from a liquid of particulates and microorganisms in the size range of 0.1 to 2 microns in diameter.
Microfiltration is the process of removing particles from a liquid or gas by passing it through a porous medium. It generally involves removing particles between the sizes of 10 and 0.02 microns in liquids, and down to 0.003 microns in gases. [See Ultrafiltration, Nanofiltration, Reverse Osmosis (RO)].
Microfiltration is a filtration process which removes contaminants from a fluid(liquid & gas) by passage through a microporous membrane. A typical microfiltration membrane pore size range is 0.1 to 10 µm. Microfiltration is not fundamentally different from reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration or nanofiltration, except in terms of the size of the molecules it retains.
