Micro Filtration (MF)
Hydroxy designs Microfiltration systems to remove suspended particles, sediment and microorganisms—delivering consistently filtered water for residential, commercial, institutional and industrial applications.
Micro Filtration (MF)
Microfiltration is a membrane-based physical filtration process designed to remove suspended solids, fine particles, sediment, turbidity and many microorganisms from water.
MF membranes contain microscopic pores that allow water and dissolved minerals to pass through while retaining larger suspended contaminants. This makes Microfiltration particularly effective as a clarification stage or as pre-treatment before more advanced membrane technologies.
Hydroxy Water Technologies designs site-specific Microfiltration systems based on feed-water characteristics, suspended-solids loading, required treated-water quality, plant capacity and operating conditions.
From pre-treatment and membrane filtration to automatic backwashing, monitoring and cleaning, Hydroxy integrates each stage into a complete MF system engineered for consistent filtration, dependable operation and efficient lifecycle performance.
Cleaner Water Through Fine Particle Filtration
Water from borewells, surface sources, storage tanks and other supplies can contain sediment and suspended particles that affect water clarity and downstream treatment performance.

Engineered Around Your Suspended-Solids Load
Microfiltration should not be selected only according to plant capacity.
Reliable MF performance depends on understanding the amount, size and nature of suspended contaminants present in the feed water, along with required flow, operating hours and downstream treatment requirements
Hydroxy evaluates important design parameters such as:
- Particle Loading
- Feed-Water Source
- pH, Iron & Manganese, and Organic Loading
- Required Filtrate Quality
- Required Flow Capacity
- Operating Hours
- Backwash & Cleaning Requirements
Depending on the feed-water quality and application, an MF system may incorporate:
- Screening & Pre-Filtration
- Multimedia Filtration
- Chemical Conditioning, where required
- Microfiltration Membrane Modules
- Feed / Transfer Pumps
- Automatic Backwashing
- Air Scouring, where applicable
- Chemical Cleaning
- Flow & Pressure Monitoring
- Turbidity Monitoring
- Automated Control System
*The result is a Microfiltration system engineered around your actual contaminant load and operating requirements rather than a standard membrane package.
How It Works?!
Hydroxy follows a structured engineering approach to ensure that pre-treatment, membrane filtration, cleaning cycles and controls operate together as one integrated system.
We understand the water source, feed-water characteristics, treatment capacity, operating hours and intended application.
Important parameters such as turbidity and suspended solids are evaluated to determine the filtration requirement.
Screening, conventional filtration or other appropriate treatment stages may be incorporated to reduce excessive solids loading and protect the MF membranes.
Feed water passes through microscopic membrane pores. Suspended particles and larger contaminants are retained while filtered water passes through as permeate or filtrate.
Accumulated particles are periodically removed through backwashing and, where required, chemical cleaning to maintain membrane performance.
Flow, differential pressure, turbidity and operating cycles can be monitored and controlled automatically to support reliable plant operation.
The complete MF system is installed, tested and commissioned according to specified operating conditions and treated-water requirements.
Hydroxy supports continued operation through preventive maintenance, membrane cleaning, replacement support, consumables and performance optimisation.
Why Hydroxy?
Successful Microfiltration requires more than selecting a membrane with the correct nominal pore size.
The system must be engineered around the feed-water quality, suspended-solids loading, membrane flux, hydraulic conditions, backwashing requirements and downstream treatment process.
Inadequate pre-treatment or incorrect operating parameters can contribute to membrane fouling, reduced flow, frequent cleaning and higher lifecycle costs.
Hydroxy combines water treatment engineering, membrane technology, process integration, automation, practical site execution and responsive lifecycle support to deliver MF systems designed for dependable long-term performance.
Our approach begins with one important question: "What suspended contaminants need to be removed before the water moves to the next stage?"
Key Benifits
Removing suspended contaminants and turbidity helps produce clearer water for downstream treatment and other applications.
MF can be used as an effective pre-treatment stage to help reduce particulate loading on Ultrafiltration, Nanofiltration and Reverse Osmosis systems..
Microfiltration generally operates at relatively low transmembrane pressure, making it an efficient option for physical particle separation.
Hydroxy MF systems can incorporate automated filtration, backwashing and cleaning cycles to maintain membrane performance while reducing manual intervention.
Hydroxy designs Microfiltration systems according to feed-water quality, suspended-solids concentration, required filtrate capacity, operating hours and application requirements rather than relying on a standard configuration.
