Definition
filtration in which the fluid travels in the direction that is perpendicular to the surface of the filter
Semi-Formal Definition:
every instance of ‘direct flow filtration’ is defined as exactly an instance of ‘filtration process’ that ‘has process profile’ 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
