A membrane is a thin layer of semi-permeable material that split up substances when a pouring force is applied across the membrane. Membrane practices are increasingly used for removal of bacteria, microorganisms, particulates, and natural organic material, which can impart color, tastes, and odors to water and react with disinfectants to form disinfection by products. The material of membrane is manufactured from a synthetic polymer, although other forms, including ceramic and metallic "membranes," may be available. Almost all membranes manufactured for drinking water are made of polymeric material, since they are significantly less expensive than membranes constructed of other materials.
A rise in the food processing industry is one of the prominent reason for the growth in the market.
