      Hello Misho, The great diffictulty in filtering bacteria is the micro filters can only handle a small volume of fluid, if you are treating waste water this is not practical, to eliminate bacteris you should be considering steralisation by the use of a halogen such as chlorine , bromine of preferably using ozone. UV is another alternative to destroying bacteria, Micro filters will clog very quickly and be extremly costly. You can achieve a very low plate count with steralisation , Happy tyo give further advice if required. Kevin Murphy Advanced Algal Technologies Limited Australia
