Nanofiltration
Nanofiltration is a water purification process that uses a semi-permeable membrane with tiny pores to separate particles and impurities from water. It allows smaller molecules, such as water and some minerals, to pass through while blocking larger substances, including salts, bacteria, and organic materials. This technology is often used to treat drinking water, remove contaminants, or soften water by reducing hardness. Nanofiltration is efficient and effective, helping to improve water quality while conserving energy compared to other methods like reverse osmosis.

Nanofiltration is a water treatment process that uses a semi-permeable membrane to separate small particles and molecules from water. It operates between microfiltration and reverse osmosis, targeting substances like organic compounds, divalent ions, and larger bacteria while allowing smaller molecules, like water and monovalent salts, to pass through. This technology is useful for purifying drinking water, treating wastewater, and in various industrial processes. It effectively removes contaminants while minimizing the loss of essential minerals, making the water safer and more suitable for consumption or use in other applications.
