Flux Increase Occurring When an Ultrafiltration Membrane Is Flipped from a Normal to an Inverted Position—Experiments and Theory

The effects of flipping membranes with hydrophilic/hydrophobic asymmetry are well documented in the literature, but not much is known on the impact of flipping a membrane with dense/porous layer asymmetry. In this work, the pure water flux (PWF) of a commercial polyethersulfone (PES) membrane and a...
