Goldfish might look as if they are just swimming around with their mouths open, but what goes on inside those mouths is a lot like a high-efficiency industrial filter, according to mathematician ...
The Sartocon Slice 50 crossflow filter device can be used for membrane screening and small-volume process development. The Sartocon Slice 50 crossflow filter device from Sartorius Stedim Biotech (SSB) ...
Studying the filter-feeding mechanism of mobula rays, engineers developed a new design for industrial cross-flow water filters. Research shows the filter-feeders strike a natural balance between ...
Activated sludge waste water processing is one of the most common technologies used in municipal waste water treatment facilities. Bioregenerative waste water treatment research at the NASA Johnson ...
Researchers detail for the first time how baleen whales use crossflow filtration to separate prey from water without ever coming into contact with the baleen. In a recent paper published in PLOS One, ...
Filter feeders are everywhere in the animal world, from tiny crustaceans and certain types of coral and krill, to various molluscs, barnacles, and even massive basking sharks and baleen whales. Now, ...
Engineers fabricated a simple water filter modeled after the mobula ray’s plankton-filtering features. Pictured are pieces of the filter. Filter feeders are everywhere in the animal world, from tiny ...
