Liquid filters remove impurities that occur in liquids. The liquid is passed through a permeable substance where undesirable larger solid particles cannot get through. The filter allows harmful particles to be retained so that the liquid can be reused or recycled.
Liquid filters are required by factories to keep wastewater within federal guidelines. Microfilters are also used to remove impurities from drinking water, making the water cleaner and better tasting. The most important factor in choosing a filter is its permeability. The appropriate porosity will hold back selected impurities while allowing the fluid to pass through.
