Results for tag: "Macrofiltration"

Macrofiltration is a type of water treatment process that uses a physical barrier to remove suspended solids, colloids, and other particles from water. It is commonly used in industrial and municipal wastewater treatment, as well as in drinking water treatment. Macrofiltration is typically used as a pretreatment step before other processes, such as reverse osmosis, to reduce the amount of solids that need to be removed. The process involves passing water through a filter medium, such as a membrane, to remove particles larger than a certain size. The filter medium can be made of a variety of materials, including polypropylene, polyester, and cellulose. Macrofiltration is an important part of the water treatment industry, as it helps to reduce the amount of contaminants in water. It is also used to reduce the amount of energy required for other processes, such as reverse osmosis. Some companies in the macrofiltration market include Pall Corporation, GE Water & Process Technologies, Veolia Water Technologies, and 3M Purification Inc. Show Less Read more
