Distributions of critical flux: modelling, experimental analysis and consequences for cross-flow membrane filtration [PDF]
This paper discusses the distribution of critical flux (DCF) in cross flow filtration. These distributions are described here by a normal function with a mean critical flux and its standard deviation.

Low fouling conditions in dead-end filtration: Evidence for a critical filtered volume and interpretation using critical osmotic pressure [PDF]
This paper presents experiments showing the existence of a critical filtered volume (CFV) when operating colloid dead-end filtration. The CFV is here defined as the filtered volume below which there is no irreversible (with respect to a break in the ...

Fractional Calculus-based Modelling of Membrane Filtration [PDF]
The aim of this work was to model the deep bed and cake filtration process using an alternative approach based on a fractional calculus (FC). The considered experimental data in this study were extracted from published studies. The data used in FC models

Numerical simulation of colloidal dispersion filtration: description of critical flux and comparison with experimental results [PDF]
During filtration via membrane processes, colloids accumulate at the porous surface leading to fouling phenomena. In this study, a rigorous simulation of momentum and mass transfer using CFD modelling has been developed to describe such an accumulation ...

Dead-end filtration of yeast suspensions: correlating specific resistance and flux data using artificial neural networks [PDF]
The specific cake resistance in dead-end filtration is a complex function of suspension properties and operating conditions. In this study, the specific resistance of resuspended dried bakers yeast suspensions was measured in a series of 150 experiments ...
