Microfiltration (MF) is a process which removes suspended & colloidal impurities from the liquid by passing it through a micro porous membrane, physically excluding particulate matter.

Microfiltration is a low-pressure cross-flow & dead end membrane process for separating colloidal and suspended particle. MF is used for fermentation both clarification and biomass clarification and recovery. Low pressure membranes were selected to remove turbidity and pathogens without chemical conditioning. Low pressure microfiltration membranes have become more popular & hence, it is being used for difficult waters, containing more solids, turbidity and higher levels of dissolved organics. Depending on the feed characteristics, some of these waters require chemical pretreatment such as pre-chlorination etc.

This technology is now being used for water treatment and wastewater treatment in the pretreatment of Zero Liquid Discharge system (ZLD).

Paramount Limited provides membrane system with pore size ranging from 0.04 micron to 3 microns. We manufacture skid mounted micro filtration membrane systems of all capacity. Paramount offers pilot plan trials to check the suitability of micro filtration membrane system for water, wastewater & process applications in all industries. All our systems are custom designed based on the design parameters and system requirements. One such installation has been for pigment industry where Paramount Limited provided the system with a flow of 1100 cubic meters per day as pretreatment to zero liquid discharge system.
