Depth filtration
Surface filtration is achieved by a filtering
medium (generally very fine) the pores of
which are essentially smaller than the size
of the particles to be trapped. Thus solid
particles are retained by direct interception
on the surface of the filtering medium. This
filtration is very sensitive to preferential
paths and can cause an escape of solids
when the filtering medium breaks.
On the other hand, in Fluytec depth
filtration the filtering medium is thicker
and its pores are smaller, equal to or
greater than that of the particles to be
retained. In this case, as well as direct
interception, phenomena of initial impact
and/or diffuse interception occur that
allow particles smaller than the pores in the
filtering medium to be retained.
