Development of Knitted Filter Bags for Industrial Dust Filtration Applications.

NITRA has developed a weft knit seamless dust filter bag for industrial applications. Researchers modified a conventional circular knitting machine with an inlay feeder (designed to permit changes in position and angle of feed), a plating feeder, and a yarn tension control that would control tension fluctuation without imparting additiona..

Hollow fibre filter cartridge and method of manufacture

The claim is for a hollow fibre filter cartridge which allows repeated autoclaving without any harmful breaks in the sealing integrity between the potted fibre bundle and the filter module. IPC B01D.

Concentration of solids in a suspension using hollow fibre membranes

A microporous filter assembly is disclosed. The invention reduces the number of pressurization cycles of the environment within and around the hollow fibres. In some cases pressurization is eliminated. IPC B01D.

Cellulose acetate membranes

A dyalisis membrane is in the form of a hollow fibre with a continuous internal cavity, comprised of cellulose acetate or a cellulose acetate derivative. IPC B01D.
