Hollow fiber are thin hollow tubes that are like straws. These fibers have a permeable membrane that lets clean water into the fiber and prohibits pollutants from going inside. Hollow fiber filters liquid, particularly water, by the size exclusion. Size exclusion happens when we have a pore that is smaller in size than the size of contaminates. Try getting a basketball to go down a golf ball hole. Wouldn’t happen right? Same scenario with pollutants in water. Clean and purified water is permitted to go past the membrane, however, the large pollutants cannot go past the pores. The hollow fiber can be retrieved by a procedure known as back flushing where purified water goes through the filter in the reverse direction. This procedure cleanses the pores of the membrane. Hollow fiber are usable in a range of climates and temperatures though if left them to freeze it will get damaged. Hollow fiber technology has come a long way and most probably will continue to be used in different applications.
