An Introduction to Types of
Water Membrane Filtration
Agape Water Solutions
Introduction
• Drawing on decades of experience, Agape Water
Solutions provides custom-designed industrial water
solutions for long-term service across a diverse range of
industries. Products offered by Agape Water Solutions
include water membrane filtration systems.
Purifying water through membrane filtration technology
involves putting in place a barrier layer that allows only
certain types and sizes of molecules to pass through. The
membrane removes bacteria, viruses, solids, and other
undesirable materials that have not been dissolved into
the water. Benefits of employing a membrane filtration
system include reduced energy consumption and lower
operating costs.
Water Membrane Filtration
• Current types of membrane filtration technology include
microfiltration, nanofiltration, ultrafiltration, and reverse
osmosis. Microfiltration relies on membranes with openings
in the range of 0.03 to 10 microns and a pressure force of 15 to
60 pounds per square inch (psi). Membranes used for
nanofiltration have openings of only about 0.001 microns and
require force pressure up to 150 psi. In ultrafiltration,
membranes have openings of about 0.002 to 0.1 microns and
an operating force of about 30 to 100 psi. Reverse osmosis has
membranes with even smaller openings and thus employs
ionic diffusion to separate water from foreign molecules.
Contact www.agapewater.com for information about
membrane systems for water purification.
