New membrane geometries have the potential to increase mixing at the feed and permeate
side to counteract concentration polarization and fouling. Such membrane geometries can …

Turbulence promoters boost the efficiency of membrane applications suffering from mass
transfer limitations. To counteract these mass transfer limitations, static mixers were …

Hollow fiber membrane modules are backwashable, less prone to fouling and exhibit higher
packing densities compared to spiral wound modules. Nevertheless, most commercial …

State of the art artificial membrane lungs incorporate hollow fiber membranes. The creeping
blood flow in hollow fiber bundles forms a boundary layer that represents a diffusive …

Surface modification of polysulfone ultrafiltration membranes was performed via addition of
an anionic polymer flocculant based on acrylamide and sodium acrylate (PASA) to the …
