Introduction to Membrane Filtration Cross-ow membrane filtration technology is quickly gaining global acceptance as an important manufacturing step in many of the process lines in the food, dairy, pharmaceutical, biotechnological, chemical and starch and sweetener industries world wide. The ability to produce very specific separations at low or ambient temperatures with no phase change can, in many applications, make membrane filtration a much more cost-effective solution than more conventional methods such as rotary vacuum filtration or filter presses. Membrane filtration is a pressure...
