Membrane Filtration : Advanced Techniques for Effective Treatment with GCER

Ask for a brochure

Membrane filtration is an advanced filtration technique distinguished by its ability to separate water from soluble substances such as oils, organic compounds, suspended solids and metals (particulate or ionic) using semi-permeable membranes. This technology is based on various membrane processes, each tailored to specific separation and purification needs.

Fundamental Principles of Membrane Filtration

Membrane filtration relies on the passage of water through a membrane, a semi-permeable material that allows certain substances to pass through while blocking others. The membranes used in these processes vary in pore size, ranging from a few hundred nanometers to several millimeters, which allows for the classification into four main types of membrane processes:

Microfiltration (MF)

Microfiltration uses membranes with pore sizes between 0.1 and 10 micrometers (μm). It is primarily used to remove suspended particles, algae, and bacteria from water. This process is commonly employed in wastewater treatment.

Ultrafiltration (UF)

Ultrafiltration employs membranes with pore sizes between 1 and 100 nanometers (nm). This process is effective for separating proteins, viruses, and colloidal particles from water. UF is often used in wastewater treatment.

Nanofiltration (NF)

Nanofiltration uses membranes with pore sizes between 1 and 10 nanometers. This intermediate process between UF and RO allows for the separation of multivalent ions and small organic molecules. NF is commonly used for potable water production.

Reverse Osmosis (RO)

Reverse Osmosis is the most effective filtration technique. It can remove almost all contaminants, including dissolved salts and organic molecules. RO is primarily used for seawater desalination and the production of high-purity mineral water.

Applications of Membrane Filtration Systems

Membrane filtration plays a crucial role in various sectors due to its ability to ensure high-precision filtration and exceptional durability:

Seawater Desalination

Membrane filtration is essential in desalination, where Reverse Osmosis (RO) is used to remove salts and other contaminants from seawater, producing potable fresh water.

Water Treatment

MF and UF processes are commonly used to treat wastewater, removing solid particles and micro-organisms.

Drinking and mineral water production

NF and RO are used to purify water intended for human consumption, guaranteeing high quality and optimum health safety.
