Water filtration is the process of removing or reducing the concentration of particulate matter, including suspended particles, parasites, bacteria, algae, viruses, and fungi, as well as other undesirable chemical and biological contaminants from contaminated water to produce safe and clean water for a specific purpose, such as drinking, medical, and pharmaceutical applications.
Water Filter
In the water filtration system, membrane filters are highly efficient in filtering submicron contaminants in water but have a deficiency of very limited filtrate holding capacity. Nanofibre nonwoven fabrics are widely used in membrane water filtration system as viral removal filters. They have two roles in the composite filter structure: they act as a separate prefilter to separate out particles of larger size than the rating of the membrane to promote the high filtration efficiency of membrane filters, and they also provide depth filtration to the membrane to improve the particle holding capacities of the membrane filtration system to extend the lifetime of the membranes.
