Definition

filtration in which the fluid travels in the direction that is perpendicular to the surface of the filter

Semi-Formal Definition:

if x is a ‘direct flow filtration process’ then x is a ‘filtration process’ that ‘has proper occurrent part’ some ‘perpendicular flow orientation’

Examples

• In brewing, dead-end filtration separates wort from barley husks after mashing; Dead-end filtration removes particulates from buffer solutions before chromatography;

Synonyms

• dead-end filtration
• normal flow filtration
