Cross-flow membrane filtration technology is quickly
gaining global acceptance as an important manufacturing step in many process
industries worldwide. The ability to produce very specific separations /
purifications at low or ambient temperatures often make membrane filtration a
much more cost-effective technology than more conventional methods such as
rotary vacuum filtration or filter presses.
Membrane
filtration is a pressure driven technology with pore sizes ranging from 100
molecular weight to 5 microns. The technologies included in membrane filtration
are: Reverse Osmosis RO, Nanofiltration NF, Ultrafiltration UF, and
Microfiltration MF.
