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.
