Different industries and project requirements need different filtration systems, so one size does not fit all. It’s best to research the types of filtration solutions: reverse osmosis, ceramic filtering, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, water recycling, coarse filtration and UV light. Visit our Project Uptime article on Efficient and Effective Waste Removal for further information on the best water treatment solutions. Need more help?

Industrial filtration is the process of removing suspended particles from a liquid. Manufacturing and industrial processes work to filter out these particle contaminants to keep site systems working properly. Filtration systems can be used for construction runoff and groundwater or oil refinery and industrial plant waste. They also come in varied system and size configurations. For example, United Rentals’ carbon filter systems remove contaminants from vapor waste and process streams, while our bag filters utilize coarse filtration to eliminate particles in process fluids or urban runoff.
Water filters do not typically kill bacteria, and it’s important to continually monitor and service your water filtration systems to prevent bacteria growth.
