Whether your business involves water desalination and purification, pharmaceutical purification and separation, wastewater treatment, fuel and oil filtration, or another area of filtration, it is essential to accurately characterize filtration media and complete filter cartridges

Whether your business involves water desalination and purification, pharmaceutical purification and separation, wastewater treatment, fuel and oil filtration, or another area of filtration, it is essential to accurately characterize filtration media and complete filter cartridges.

Testing techniques and instruments available at PMI can provide important and relevant information, including: rate of liquid / gas flow through filtration media; pressure drop across media; efficiency of separation of particles of different sizes by filtration media; rate of fouling or clogging of filtration media; and absolute rating of filter integrity.

PMI has produced a chart that matches appropriate instruments and techniques to applications. The chart should allow researchers and quality control personnel to make the best use of what is available.
