Membrane Tech Parameters

The document summarizes different types of membrane filtration processes. It provides information on pore size, operating pressure, molecular weight cut-off, and flux for different filtration types including microfiltration (MF), ultrafiltration (UF), nanofiltration (NF), and reverse osmosis (RO). It also defines molecular weight cut-off as the molecular weight of a molecule that is 90% retained by the membrane.
