In the membrane filtration world, many filters and a wide array of filter configurations exist. These different filters have unique properties and specific applications. Many systems use multiple filter types, working harmoniously to produce a desired outcome. This article will summarize the different filter types and configurations, briefly describing how they work, where they may be applied, and how they may work together.
Membrane filters are generally separated into four categories: Microfiltration, Ultrafiltration, Nanofiltration, and Reverse Osmosis.
Microfiltration and Ultrafiltration membranes work by size exclusion. Fluid passes through the membrane, with contaminants larger than the membrane pores prevented from passing. In some cases, retention can be enhanced by surface modifications that will absorb certain particles onto the membrane surface, even if they are smaller than the pores.

Our new Micro Capsule products are gearing up to launch in early 2025, replacing our current Mini Capsules. They feature a compact design, measuring under four inches in length and less than three inches in diameter. They are engineered to reduce holdup volume and enhance performance. Stay tuned for more updates on this product.
We are pleased to announce the launch of our new capsule packaging, designed to ensure the protection of each capsule product during transit. This packaging is made entirely from recycled and biodegradable materials, offering a sustainable and durable option for packaging needs!
