Hiper filtración

Hyperfiltration is a type of membrane filtration process that uses a membrane with very small pores to separate dissolved solutes from water based on their size and charge.

The pore size of our hyperfiltration membranes ranges from 0.001 µm to 0.05 µm, which is smaller than the size of most viruses and bacteria, yet larger than many ions and small dissolved molecules.
In a hyperfiltration process, water containing dissolved solutes is passed through the membrane under pressure. Water molecules, which are small enough to pass through the pores, are filtered through, while larger dissolved solutes are retained. This separation is based on the size and charge of the solutes, as well as their affinity for the membrane material. Hyperfiltration is used in various fields, such as water treatment, pharmaceutical production, and food processing.
It often offers an efficient and selective alternative to traditional methods such as ultrafiltration or reverse osmosis, depending on the specific requirements: it is more selective than ultrafiltration for dissolved solutes and generally requires less pressure than reverse osmosis, while offering a balanced compromise between purity and performance.
In reverse osmosis, almost no minerals remain in the water, which is why remineralization is often required. However, the amount of minerals added back is usually very limited. A growing group of health experts therefore considers reverse osmosis water to be less nourishing compared to methods that retain more natural minerals, such as hyperfiltration.
One of the main benefits of hyperfiltration is its ability to selectively remove specific dissolved solutes from water while allowing others to remain. This enables more precise control over the composition of the filtered water and facilitates the production of high-purity, healthy water for a wide range of applications.
