Filtration impacts every aspect of our lives.  People are most familiar with the air dust\nfilters in the HVAC unit or the cartridge filters in the refrigerator for\ndrinking water.  However, most of us may not\nbe aware that most manufactured goods we use and processed food we eat may\nrequire filtration or separation, directly or indirectly.  Filtration processes can be physical,\nchemical, or biological operations that separate one or more matters from a\nmixture.  This operation is usually\ncarried out with the aid of filtration media \u2013 the filter, which helps to\nperform the function of having the concerned matters or particles captured or\nisolated.  \n\nOne way to have a better understanding of the\nWorld Of Filtration is to look at the chart of the Filtration Spectrum\npresented by Osmonics.  On the large end\nof the spectrum, the Particle Filtration usually deals with matter or particles\nvisible to the  human naked eye, such as\nsands, grains, saw dusts or human hair. \nSmaller than that will be Microfiltration where the matters or particles\ncan only be observed by using an optical microscope.  These particles include milled flour, coal\ndust, blood cell and some bacteria. \nFurther down the spectrum, we will need to use more specialized\ninstrument such as a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) to observe the\nconcerned matters or particles and utilize a more complicated Ultrafiltration\nprocess to separate them.  Matters or\nparticles in this spectrum include asbestos, smoked tobacco particles or some\nvirus.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see, the filtration media or the filter is the most critical component in a filtration process to separate the targeted matters or particles.  There are many critical characteristics or requirements that a filter need to meet in order to perform the separation function effectively.  Among them, the filtration efficiency, pressure drop, chemical and thermal compatibilities and the geometry are the most important. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
