Cross-flow Filtration

Crossflow filtration

Crossflow filtration is when the flow is applied tangentially across the membrane surface. As the feed flows across the membrane surface, filtrate passes through while concentrate accumulates at the opposite end of the membrane. The tangential flow of the membrane creates a shearing effect on the surface of the membrane, which in turn reduces fouling.
