cross-flow filtration

Cross-flow filtration is a process where a liquid mixture flows tangentially across a surface with a filter. As the liquid moves, smaller particles pass through the filter membrane, while larger particles and contaminants are carried away with the flow to prevent clogging. This technique efficiently separates and purifies liquids, such as in water treatment or food processing, by continuously removing unwanted particles without stopping the flow. It allows for high-quality filtration with less pressure and maintenance, making it suitable for large-scale or sensitive applications.
