Microfiltration is a type of filtration process that uses a membrane with a pore size typically ranging from 0.1 to 10 micrometers to separate particles and impurities from a fluid. This process is commonly used in various industries such as water treatment, food and beverage production, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology. Microfiltration is known for its efficiency in removing bacteria, protozoa, and other suspended solids from liquids, making it an important technology for achieving high levels of purity and quality in many applications.
