UF Purification vs. Microfiltration - Which Process to Choose for Your Application?
Published on by Nick Nicholas, App Eng/Technical Director at Genesis Water Technologies, Inc. in Technology
Anyone who has studied at the very least high school level biology (and paid attention) is familiar with the concept of a membrane, in particular, a semi-permeable membrane.
Biological living cells are wrapped in semi-permeable membranes that keep their functions separate from the surrounding environment. The semi-permeable aspect allows only certain ions and organic molecules to pass into or out of the cell. The membrane can be selective in either a passive or active capacity. The UF purification and microfiltration processes utilize a semi-permeable membrane to separate micro-contaminants from a water stream.
What is the difference between UF purification and microfiltration?
In this article, we will first explain how a semi-permeable membrane works. Following this, we will discuss the differences between the UF and microfiltration membrane treatment processes for water and wastewater treatment.
