Water Filtration Systems are components of different filters, pumps, Membranes and measuring devices that filter out contaminants and foul odors and tastes to provide for clean, healthy water for you, your family and your home, Garden or farm to help you become and stay healthy and happy.
Water filtration systems allow you to have confidence in the water quality that you need.
A water filtration system is a device that removes the contaminants (usually measured in Total Dissolved Solids or TDS) or in Bacterial count usually measured in HPC (Heterotrophic Plate Count),
The WHO (World Health Organization) states the following:
Heterotrophs are broadly defined as microorganisms that require organic carbon for growth. They include bacteria, yeasts and molds.
A variety of simple culture-based tests which are intended to recover a wide range of microorganisms from water are collectively referred to as “heterotrophic plate count” or “HPC test” procedures. Accordingly, the terms “heterotroph” and “HPC” are not synonymous.
There is no universal ‘HPC measurement’. Although standardized methods have been formalized, HPC test methods involve a wide variety of test conditions that lead to a wide range of quantitative and qualitative results.
Temperatures employed range from around 20° to 40° C, incubation times from a few hours to 7 days or a few weeks, and nutrient conditions from low to high. The test itself does not specify the organisms that are detected.
Membrane Filtration
Osmosis offers a unique advantage that it is a process that can take place while temperatures are low. Therefore, this enables the treatment of heat-sensitive matter. That is why these applications are widely used for food production.
As stated earlier, Water is a very important part of staying Organic. Without clean water, it is impossible to ensure that the food and products that your farm or garden is selling is pure.
Choosing a Membrane Filtration System
The choice for a certain kind of membrane filtration system is determined by a great number of aspects, such as the benefits of membrane filtration, costs, risks of plugging of the membranes, packing density and cleaning opportunities. Membranes are never applied as one flat plate, because this large surface often results in high investing costs.
That is why systems are built densely to enable a large membrane surface to be put in the smallest possible volume. A selection of different membrane technologies are implemented in several types of modules.
There are two main types, called the tubular membrane system and the plate & frame membrane system.
- Tubular membrane systems are divided up in tubular, capillary and hollow fiber membranes.
- Plate & frame membranes are divided up in spiral membranes and pillow-shaped membranes.
It is the Tubular membrane systems that we are focusing on due to size and cost of most homes and Organic Farms and Organic Gardens.
