The Filtration Spectrum – At One Glance

The Filtration Spectrum Filtration describes different technologies to separate materials based on their particle size (nm, µm) or molecular weight. In membrane filtration, these are micro-filtration and ultra-filtration. Nano-filtration and reverse osmosis to separate solutes (e.g., seawater desalination) are considered to be non-classical filtration processes.

What Is a Nanometre?

Bee Versus Planet Earth One nanometre (nm) is 1x10-6 millimetres. In order to understand how unbelievably small a nanometre is, we use the following thought experiment: We imagine a bee sitting on the surface of a globe. The ratio of a nanometre to a metre

Our Micro- and Ultra-Filtration System – Type MEMZEP 007

Background In the processing and food industries, classical types of filtration, like precoat filtration, which are used to separate minor mass fractions from suspensions, are being replaced by membrane filtration concepts. The use of filtration aids like infusorial earth or silica gel is no longer
