Ultrafiltration (UF) membranes are central to filtration systems used extensively in water-based industrial processes and in desalination pre-treatment. Current UF membrane manufacture is difficult to control, yielding products that give low separation efficiencies and high running costs for the…

A quick recap for you who missed the competition – Arcada students were challenged to write a list of three things…
