London, 21 October 2014: TechNavio, the independent tech-focused global research firm, has published a report on the Global Membrane Microfiltration Market 2014-2018, which is expected to post a CAGR of 10.19 percent during 2013-2018.
Membrane microfiltration is a physical sieving separation process whereby contaminated fluid is passed through a membrane with very small pores, which separates the suspended particles, bacteria, and microorganisms. These membranes are used as a pre-treatment for desalination processes such as reverse osmosis and nanofiltration, and also to remove turbidity from the fluid.
“Manufacturers are reducing costs by implementing microfiltration membranes in the filtration processes, and also to help remove the apprehension of using membranes in public water treatment and wastewater discharge,” says Faisal Ghaus, Vice President of TechNavio.
“This is boosting the production of membrane microfilters, which allows the manufacturers to benefit because of the economies of scale.”
