WHAT’S THE FILTRATION

Filtration is used to separate and fluid in a suspension, where the fluid can be a liquid, a gas or supercritical fluid. Depending on the application , either one or both of the components may be isolated.

There are many different method of filtration all aim to attain the separation of substances.

Methods of filtration vary depending on the location of the targeted material, whether it is dissolved in the fluid phase or suspended as a solid.
