December 12, 2022Membrane filters can be defined as a microporous film that serves as a barrier, allowing the flow of fluids or gasses while preventing the passage of particles and microorganisms. These filters have specific ratings for their pore sizes which is vital to keep the microorganisms or particles which are bigger than the size of their pores through the process of surface capture. Membrane filtration utilizes pressure in order to force water or any other kind of carrier (fluid or gas) through a porous or semi-permeable membrane. This process separates the particulate matter that's suspended from the soluble and carrier components.
