Maybe.

If you had a bucket of sand and water from the beach, and filtered out all the sand, you would still find microorganisms living in the water. Sterilization usually involves filtration and some form of heat, radiation, pressure or chemical agent. Microfiltration is used for products which cannot be exposed to the above methods.
