Electric Field-Assisted Cross Flow Cells

Electric Field-Assisted Cross Flow Cells are bench-scale Crossflow TFF membrane test cells used in membrane separation processes.

Applying an electric field to membranes enhances membrane performance by increasing electrostatic repulsion between membranes and foulants. This is possible because most membrane foulants including sludge flocs, soluble microbial products (SMP) and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are generally negatively charged.

Sterlitech cross flow cells mimic hydrodynamic conditions present in real size systems. In real size systems, electric field can be applied in tubular, flat sheet or spiral wound modules.
