Because they have similar outward appearance, it is easy to presume that the various microporous membrane filters and flat sheet membrane filters offered by Sterlitech have similar pore structures. Some consider symmetry to be the epitome of beauty, but with respect to filtration, it’s all relative. In reality, there is a rich variety of pore structure morphologies resulting from the techniques and materials used to manufacture the membranes.

September 14, 2023The United States Department of Energy (DOE) has announced plans to provide nearly $10 million in funding for seven pioneering initiatives to speed up the progress and evaluation of marine energy technologies. Marine energy sources, such as waves, tides, and ocean and river currents, show great potential as they are easily accessible, and predictable, and can be combined with other renewable energy options like solar, wind, and geothermal energy [1]

August 11, 2023San Francisco is taking the lead in water conservation by implementing a decentralized approach to recycling wastewater. This innovative method allows for the reuse of treated wastewater for irrigation and toilet flushing, thus reducing the strain on diminishing freshwater resources. By embracing the idea of reusing non-potable water for essential purposes, the city is working to safeguard its precious natural water reserves, which play a vital role in providing safe drinking water to its residents.

August 11, 2023Bioburden is the term used to describe microbial contamination of a product prior to sterilization. Microorganisms can be introduced at any point during the manufacturing process through raw materials, the environment,humans, or during the final stage of cleaning and packaging. Since the sources of contamination can vary widely, a product's bioburden can fluctuate from batch to batch, routine bioburden testing is recommended [1].

July 14, 2023Cross-Flow Velocity (CFV) is the linear velocity of the flow tangential to the membrane surface and is reported in [m/sec] or [ft/sec]. It refers to the velocity at which a fluid or gas flows across a solid surface or through a porous medium. It is a key test parameter to investigate in various fields and applications due to its significant impact on fluid dynamics, heat transfer, and mass transfer processes.
