Reduction of membrane fouling using a helical baffle for cross flow microfiltration

The introduction of turbulence promoters such as helical baffles were shown to enhance permeate flux during crossflow microfiltration. Helical inserts reduce hold-up in the feed channel; increase fluid velocity and wall shear rates and produce secondary flows or instabilities. The aim of this work w...
