Completely revised and updated, Fluid Sterilization by Filtration, Third Edition shows you how to ensure the sterility of these fluids. Packed with information useful to both the novice and the expert, the book includes line-drawing illustrations, filtration setups, and plots of math functions illustrating fluid flows through filter media built from a random packing of solids. The author supplies in-depth discussions of general filtration, specific membranes used in filtration, integrity testing, earlier filtration steps, and cross-flow filtration.
