Micro/Ultrafiltration
“Microfiltration is a type of physical filtration process where a contaminated fluid is passed through a special pore-sized membrane to separate microorganisms and suspended particles from process liquid. ….
The typical particle size used for microfiltration ranges from about 0.1 to 10 µm. In terms of approximate molecular weight these membranes can separate macromolecules generally less than 100,000 g/mol. The filters used in the microfiltration process are specially designed to prevent particles such as, sediment, algae, protozoa or large bacteria from passing through. More microscopic, atomic or ionic materials such as water (H2O), monovalent species such as Sodium (Na+) or Chloride (Cl-) ions, dissolved or natural organic matter, and small colloids and viruses will still be able to pass through the filter.”

EnviCare® Engineering GmbH is working with these filtration processes, mainly in the field of municipal and industrial wastewater treatment, for 20 years now.
However, we are also involved in industrial production, the use of these filtration processes have often triumphed as the best available and therefore the most economical solution.
