November 12, 2021Tangential Flow Filtration (TFF), or Crossflow Filtration, is a physical separation technique that uses the size difference between the liquid particles and the membrane pores to separate them. A substantial distinction is established between ceramic (inorganic) and polymeric (organic) materials in the manufacture of TFF membranes. To address the restrictions of polymeric membranes, ceramic membranes were created in the 1980s, allowing TFF to be used in additional applications. Initially developed for its use in extreme conditions, ceramics have become mainstay membranes in a number of industries, including environmental, food and beverage, biopharma, chemical, gas, and electronics. However, costs associated with evaluating at scale may deter new users.

September 17, 2021Color remediation column (CRC) technology is a novel post-extraction procedure that enables producers to substantially brighten the color of extracted oils, disproving the traditional understanding that the gold hue alone assures its superiority and origin. This process helps to eliminate odors and pollutants from various extracts. To extract and filter contaminants, several producers now utilize a "color remediation column," which is a steel cylinder filled with a filtration media similar to sand. Additionally, CRC is also utilized to remove any leftover pesticides, off-flavors, or even byproducts from certain synthetic processes. However, the technology has sparked debate over whether the industry’s quality control is being compromised.
