We present an analysis of the flowfield inside a novel crossflow microfiltration device. The filter performance relies on shear focusing by means of a corrugated channel. The flow and shear stress characteristics inside the filter are studied by means of both micro Particle Image Velocimetry (micro-PIV) measurements and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis. We show that an increase of th...

During crossflow microfiltration, formation of cake layer on the membrane inhibits the filter performance. Previous studies on cake formation have focused on the monodisperse conditions, although most field applications are under the polydisperse conditions. In this study, microfiltration experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of particle size on cake formation, especially, at pol...

In the era of freshwater scarcity, world seeks to limit overexploitation all accessible resource and also recover potable water by treating wastewater. Various domestic, agricultural industrial activities lead in generating high amount wastewater from which can be recovered for human needs. Over many years, conventional filtration process has gained success some extent effluents treatment dispo...
