Pore Size Characterization of Nanofiltration Membranes by

UltraNano™ Porometer

Krishna Gupta, Technical Director ( Porous Materials Inc., USA)

Filtration membranes are capable of acting as barriers to bacteria, viruses, spores, pollens, colloidal suspensions, high molecular weight solutes, pathogens and pesticides. Pore structure characterisation of these include through pore throat diameter, bubble point pore diameter, mean flow pore diameter, pore distribution and liquid permeability.

PMI has developed UltraNano™ Porometery technique for measuring pores in the Nanofiltration range without any damage or rupture to the membrane. The limitation of measurement of bubble point in a liquid-liquid Porometer is overcome using UltraNano™ Porometer. The UltraNano™ Porometer provides pore distribution capabilities for a wide range of membranes and covers a wide pore size range from 0.002µm to 500 µm.
