Filtration
Filtration
Type of treatment: Treatment
Description:Filtration is the physical process whereby particles suspended in water are separated by forcing the fluid through a porous medium (i.e. a filter). The suspended particles are trapped in the filter. Filtration relies on the pore size of the membrane, which can be varied to remove particles and molecules of various sizes. Micro-filtration processes generally work best for separating very fine particles (0.1-0.001 microns) from the liquid.
