Surface filtration works at the cartridge’s media surface to remove specific particle sizes typically at a high removal efficiency. Surface filtration often utilises pleated filters with large surface areas, allowing the media to be tightly packed within the cartridge to maximise filtration efficiency. There are many different media types available in surface filtration, all designed to help with the removal of a range of contaminants such as bacteria, Cryptosporidium, cysts, silt and fine particulate. At Fileder, we offer a wide range of surface filtration solutions to suit a variety of industries.

How Does Surface Filtration Work
Surface filtration is a process where solids are separated from liquids. It’s typically used before chemical or biological treatments such as disinfection as the surface filters can’t withstand harsh chemicals. This process is just one method of treatment used to clean water used in various applications, playing a crucial role in removing large particulates that may have otherwise clogged the final filter stages.
Surface filtration is used in a wide range of industries, including, but not limited to:
- Pharmaceutical
- Manufacturing
- Food and beverage processing
- Automotive manufacturing
