Microfiltration (MF)

Pall Water experts Alicia and Joe detail the importance of water quality, the differences between Microfiltration (MF) and Ultrafiltration (UF), filter media characteristics, and much more!

When used in Pall Water's Aria water treatment systems, our proven microfiltration modules deliver high-quality water for municipal and industrial applications around the globe.

1. Lower operating costs:
   • By providing high quality RO prefiltration, the time between RO membrane cleaning is greatly extended. This results in reduced downtime and chemical / disposal costs.
   • High water recovery rates (typically up to 95%-98%) minimize cost per volume of water produced. 
2. Hollow fiber construction with 0.1 μm rated membrane for removal of particles, bacteria, colloidal silica, and reduced turbidity.
3. PVDF membrane resistant to oxidizing agents.
4. Filtration from outside fiber to inside of fiber:
   • Large surface area per module for excellent throughput, resulting in compact systems, and exceptional tolerance for high contaminant levels.
   • Removal of foulants by unique and periodic air-scouring and permeate back flushing.
   • Minimum prefiltration required (e.g., 400 μm self-cleaning strainers for removal of tramp solids).
