What Are the Best Companies for Microfiltration and Ultrafiltration Membrane Systems?

Home 9 Microfiltration/Ultrafiltration 9 What Are the Best Companies for Microfiltration and Ultrafiltration Membrane Systems?

Whether you are looking for a microfiltration or ultrafiltration (MF/UF) membrane system that will help your facility manufacture safe food and/or beverages, boiler feed water for industrial process, or treat contaminated waste to acceptable effluent standards, it can be overwhelming to search for the MF/UF membrane system that is ideal for your specific application. MF/UF membrane systems solve a wide variety of industrial pretreatment, separation and purification challenges, and the solutions and configurations of these systems can be as far-reaching and complex as the problems they are meant to remedy.

If your facility might require MF/UF membrane system technology, you are likely wondering, “What are the best companies for microfiltration and ultrafiltration membrane systems?” There are many manufactures of MF/UF membranes utilizing various casting materials form polymers to ceramics. The most common physical structures are spiral wound, flat sheet, hollow fiber, and tubular. When you combine the membrane chemistry with various physical structures, the combinations are endless. Some companies provide membranes only for sale through OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) who integrate them into solutions, and some provide both the membranes and the complete integrated systems. This blog article deals mainly with the solution provider.

While SAMCO is confident our custom-designed and engineered MF/UF treatment solutions are some of the best in the industry, we also realize we might not be the best fit for everyone and believe it’s important for our potential customers to be aware of the available options when searching for these solutions. For this reason, we outline below which MF/UF membrane system companies are the best choices for your facility to help you with your search for the perfect MF/UF system, including a bit about who the companies are and what they have to offer:
