For Optimal Water Treatment
Not every water treatment process requires the removal of salts and minerals. In many situations, the focus is actually on retaining bacteria, suspended particles, and other microorganisms, while preserving the water’s composition as much as possible.
With a micro- or ultrafiltration system, water is passed through a fine membrane that effectively separates out unwanted contaminants. This allows you to improve water quality without the need for drastic chemical treatments.
The Right Filtration for Every Application
Depending on the desired water quality, either microfiltration or ultrafiltration is chosen. Both techniques use a membrane but differ in the size of the particles they retain.
Microfiltration removes, among other things, suspended solids and a large proportion of bacteria. Ultrafiltration goes one step further and also traps smaller microorganisms and fine contaminants. This allows a suitable filtration solution to be tailored for every application.
Reliable Water Quality
Microfiltration and ultrafiltration ensure consistent water quality and contribute to the reliable operation of systems and processes. By removing unwanted particles from the water, the risk of contamination is reduced and the strain on systems is minimized.
The technology is also a sustainable solution that can be effectively combined with other forms of water treatment, such as UV disinfection, reverse osmosis, or chemical water treatment.
Applicable Across a Wide Range of Sectors
Microfiltration and ultrafiltration systems are used in a wide range of environments where water quality plays a key role. Examples include:

Frequently asked questions about micro- and ultrafiltration system
-
A microfilter system removes suspended particles, bacteria, and other contaminants from water using a fine membrane.
-
Ultrafiltration uses a finer membrane than microfiltration and therefore removes even smaller microorganisms and contaminants.

These systems are used for applications such as drinking water, process water, cooling water, and applications in the food industry, healthcare, and manufacturing.
-
No. Unlike reverse osmosis, most dissolved salts and minerals are retained.
-
Yes. Microfiltration and ultrafiltration are often combined with techniques such as reverse osmosis, UV disinfection, or chemical water treatment.
