Research Target and Definition
Membrane Definition
MF Microfiltration is a membrane filtration process operating at 0.2 - 4 bar pressure allowing molecules of the size of salts, sugars, and proteins to pass through the membrane pores, while molecules of the size of bacteria and fat globules are rejected.
UF
 Ultrafiltration is a membrane filtration process operating at 2-10 bar pressure and allowing molecules of the size of salts and sugars to pass through the membrane pores, while molecules the size of proteins are rejected.
NF
The Nanofiltration process is a Reverse Osmosis process using a relatively open RO membrane, allowing water and small univalent ions (Na+, K+, Cl-) to pass.
RO
 Reverse osmosis is most commonly used to treat water containing dissolved salts. Treatment is carried out by flowing a water stream across the feed side of a membrane. Pressure in excess of the osmotic pressure of the feed solution is applied on the feed side, and under this pressure driving force; water molecules pass through the membrane preferentially. The treated water, containing a much lower concentration of salt than the feed water, is withdrawn from the permeate side. Dissolved salts, organic compounds, colloids, microorganisms and any other matter suspended in the water are retained on the feed side.
