Abstract
Cross-flow filtration (CFF) also known as tangential flow filtration is not of recent origin. It began with the development of reverse osmosis (RO) more than three decades ago. Industrial RO processes include desalting of sea water and brackish water, and recovery and purification of some fermentation products. The cross-flow membrane filtration technique was next applied to the concentration and fractionation of macromolecules commonly recognized as ultrafiltration (UF) in the late 1960's. Major UF applications include electrocoat paint recovery, enzyme and protein recovery and pyrogen removal [1-3].
