Tangential flow filtration

Tangential flow filtration is a filtration technique which uses porous membranes capable of trapping particles measuring from 0.2 to 0.4 μm (micron). The membrane used is very dense, so the microorganisms, e.g. yeast, that cause the product to deteriorate, are eliminated with this type of filtration. This type of filtration pushes the product through membrane in a tangential, rather than a frontal direction. The advantage of only clogging the filtering medium on the surface is that it is easier to clean at the end of each use. There are two large families of membranes used in tangential flow filtration: organic and ceramic membranes. By producing filters with both organic and ceramic membranes, Sfoggiatech offers its customers the opportunity to choose the best solution for their needs.
