A 0.01 micron ultrafiltration (UF) membrane is a type of semi-permeable filter that uses a pressure-driven process to remove contaminants from water and other liquids. Its extremely small pore size effectively traps bacteria, viruses, and other suspended solids while allowing water molecules and smaller dissolved substances to pass through. These membranes are often used in point-of-use drinking water systems and industrial applications because they can achieve high purity at lower pressures and without producing wastewater, unlike reverse osmosis systems
