capillary membrane is a bundle of hollow fibers with porous walls through which water is filtered in a micro- or ultrafiltration process.

What does capillary membrane mean in practice?

Water flows through hollow fibers, and their walls retain particles and microorganisms larger than the effective pore size.

When does it matter?

Damage to individual fibers or seals reduces integrity, although overall flow may remain normal.

Which solutions are related to it?

Pre-filtration, required flow direction and flushing are provided, and integrity testing is performed in critical applications.
