- Angstrom (Å.U.)
- unit of measurement for wavelengths of light and intra molecular distances
whereby 10 Å.U. = 1 nanometre
- Centimetre (cm)
- one hundredth of a metre
- "concentrate" -
a term used to describe the concentrated waste water and rejected contaminants
generated by filtration of an liquid effluent stream
- "cross flow" -
the process used in typical UF systems whereby the wash water flows
over the membrane surface at a precise flow rate and pressure, which
keeps the surface clean from debris build up.
- Dalton - measurement
of molecular weight Ion - electrically charged particle
- MF - micro filtration
- Micron (µm) - one
millionth of a metre
- Millimetre (mm) -
one thousandth of a metre
- Nanometre (nm) -
one thousand millionth of a metre NF - nano filtration
- Osmosis - diffusion
of fluid through a porous partition in to another fluid
- "permeate"
- a term used to describe the clarified filtered water that has passed
through a membrane.
