Filtration assemblies are used in laboratories and industry to separate water from small solid particles. This method is important for experimental materials, especially for well-purified samples. On the other hand, filtration assemblies work to remove small particles such as sediments, dirt and even microorganisms by applying pressure to water that must be filtered through a membrane or filter paper. Different separation methods such as membrane, pressure and vacuum filtration can be used depending on the requirements of the experiment.

Allowing flexibility in the use of a wide range of materials including active chemicals and water in chemical manufacturing uses filtration assemblies to remove contaminants from chemical products that can compromise end product quality maintenance programs ensure that the chemistry process runs smoothly and produces reliable results, whether the separation process is consumed use for byproducts, for cleaning solvents, or for raw materials

Water treatment plants use filtration assemblies to purify water by removing sediment, harmful microorganisms and chemical contaminants. This provides clean and safe drinking water and treats wastewater before it is released back into the environment​.
