Oysters Act as a Natural Seawater Filtration System

Environmental educators in Pensacola are acquainting kids with water filtration in a new, hands-on way. Instead of a class turtle, these students are raising baby oysters. This program is sponsored by the Pensacola Bay Oyster Company and supports a local nonprofit, the Bream Fisherman Association, in its efforts to educate a new generation on marine wildlife preservation. Students contribute to...

Why Evaluate Hydraulic Fluid Compatibility?

When introducing a new control fluid to hydraulic systems, it is important to ensure that the new liquid or mixture is of equal or superior quality to the previous fluid. If the new mixture is incompatible, precipitate may form and result in an overall inferior fluid. This can speed up clogging or damage the system. When a manufacturer of construction machinery releases a new line of bulldozers...

Tech Tips: Cross Flow Velocity (CFV)

Q: What is Cross Flow Velocity? A: Cross flow velocity (CFV) is the linear velocity of the flow tangential to the membrane surface and is reported in [m/sec] or [ft/sec]. CFV affects fouling rate and formation of concentration polarization at membrane surface and is calculated by dividing the volumetric flow rate [lpm or gpm] in the flow channel by the cross sectional area [m2 or ft2] of the flow...

What is SDI?

What is silt density index (SDI)? Silt density index (SDI) estimates the quantity of suspended solids and colloids inside of water. SDI is measured following the ASTM D19.08 Standard Test Method for Silt Density Index (SDI) of Water, using a 0.45 micron membrane. SDI provides information about the fouling potential of water treatment equipment, including membrane filtration systems, and therefore...

How Does eDNA Analysis Work to Save Ecosystems?

As we grow in understanding the significance different organisms have in the ecology of an environment, it helps tremendously if we know which organisms inhabit that environment - whether they're supposed to be there or not. One method that is gaining widespread use, and relies on a simple filtration method, is the analysis of environmental DNA (eDNA) from local waterways. As animals inhabit a...

Focus on Microfiltration: Filter Longevity

For consumers using disk, syringe, and capsule filters it is a common FAQ: How long will my filter last? Or, to put it another way: How much fluid can I expect to pass through my filter before it clogs? This seems to be a simple and reasonable question for a filter consumer: Would any of us purchase a product without an understanding of its service life? However, this apparently simple question...

Membrane Chemical Cleaning: Why is it Required and How is it Performed?

Membrane fouling, defined as the accumulation of particles and organic matter at the surface or in the pores of membranes occurs during membrane filtration. Membrane fouling results in membrane performance loss, i.e. lower rejection values, lower permeate flux and higher pressure drop, which translates into higher operational cost. The extent of fouling depends on the feed quality, operating...
