EFFECT OF DIAFILTRATION MEDIA AND FILTRATION MODES ON FOULING AND PERFORMANCE IN SKIM MILK MICROFILTRATION: A COMPARATIVE STUDY

Effect of diafiltration media and filtration modes on fouling and performance in skim milk microfiltration: A comparative study

ABSTRACT: This research used a customized laboratory setup to compare the filtration performance and fouling buildup during microfiltration with polymeric membranes of skim milk using 2 diafiltration media: ultrafiltration permeate and ultrapure water.Two filtration modes were evaluated: in stage 1, the diafiltration media was added in a 1:1 ratio,

Numerical and experimental investigation on the effect of retrograde vaporization on fines migration and drift in porous oil reservoir: roles of phase change heat transfer and saturation

Abstract Retrograde vaporization effects on oil production are nearly unprecedented to reservoir engineering community, and its relation to formation damage should be explored.For this purpose, this paper elucidates the importance and role of this phenomenon and its phase change heat transfer (PCHT) on fines migration and subsequent, permeability d

Promoting co-existence between humans and venomous snakes through increasing the herpetological knowledge base

Snakebite incidence at least partly depends on the biology of the snakes involved.However, studies of snake biology have been largely neglected in favour of anthropic factors, with the exception of taxonomy, which has been recognised for some decades to affect the design of antivenoms.Despite this, within-species venom variation and the unpredictab
