Filtration is a process that involves passing a liquid or gas through a porous material, such as a filter, to separate suspended particles or contaminants from the fluid. In waste management, filtration is used to remove solid particles from liquids or gasses, improving the quality of the effluent before disposal or further treatment.
Usage
- Water Treatment: Removes suspended solids and impurities from water before it’s released back into the environment or used for industrial purposes.
- Oil and Gas Industry: Separates impurities from oil, gas, and drilling fluids before they are reused or disposed of.
- Food Processing: Eliminates particles and contaminants from liquids, ensuring product safety and quality.
