Depth filtration – depth filter surface filter – filter technology
Principally, filtration is divided into two different processes; deep bed filtration and surface filtration.
During surface filtration, the solid particles are retained at the filter surface due to their size. Prerequisite for this mechanical separation is that the biggest pore sizes of the filter material are smaller than the smallest solid particles which need to be retained. The disadvantage of surface filtration is that the particles, which accumulate at the filter surface, form a filter cake, which raises the flow resistance distinctly, and accordingly decreases the filtration flux.
In deep bed filtration, the filter effect is, on the one hand, based on a mechanical factor and, on the other hand, on an absorptive one. Thereby, a considerable portion of particles, which – due to the geometric proportions of pore openings and solid particles – normally could pass the pores, is retained in the three-dimensional structure of the filter material.
