Microfiltration definition

Microfiltration means a method of membrane treatment designed to remove particles down to 0.1 µm in size. The treatment removes cysts, bacteria, and most (but not all) particulates.

Microfiltration or "MF" means a pressure driven membrane process that separates particles, based on the pore-size rating of the membrane, from a feed stream by using a sieving mechanism. Typically, microfiltration can remove particles down to approximately 0.1 micrometer in size.

  • Filtration means a process for removing particulate matter from water by passage through porous media.

  • Infiltration means water other than wastewater that enters a sewer system (including sewer system and foundation drains) from the ground through such means as defective pipes, pipe joints, connections, or manholes. Infiltration does not include, and is distinguished from, inflow.
