Most RO elements are of the spiral-wound design in which a flat membrane and spacer sheets are wrapped around a perforated central tube. Purified water, aka permeate, is generated by crossflow ...

Fouling of filters and membranes is a process where unwanted substances accumulate on the surface or within the pores of the filtration media or membranes, which leads to a decrease in their ...

Engineers fabricated a simple water filter modeled after the mobula ray’s plankton-filtering features. Pictured are pieces of the filter. Credit: Jennifer Chu MIT engineers have discovered that the ...

Studying the filter-feeding mechanism of mobula rays, engineers developed a new design for industrial cross-flow water filters. Research shows the filter-feeders strike a natural balance between ...

Filter feeders are widespread across the animal kingdom, from krill and coral to baleen whales and basking sharks. Now, researchers at MIT have uncovered a unique filter-feeding mechanism in mobula ...

Engineers fabricated a simple water filter modeled after the mobula ray’s plankton-filtering features. Pictured are pieces of the filter. Filter feeders are everywhere in the animal world, from tiny ...

Tangential flow filtration (TFF), also known as crossflow filtration, is used to clarify process fluids, including cell culture media, and concentrate and buffer exchange macromolecules, including ...

The long journey from cell culture to a purified monoclonal antibody (mAb) involves many sample processing steps, with clarification and filtration playing significant roles. However, clogs, complex ...
