Technology Overview
The Tri Layer Filter is a cutting-edge invention developed at Brigham Young University, featuring a unique three-layer structure aimed at improving the reliability and efficiency of membrane filters. This design consists of two thin outer membranes with finely tuned pore sizes for filtration, complemented by a thicker middle layer that provides robust mechanical support and ensures laminar flow. This strategic composition significantly mitigates the risk of manufacturing defects compromising filter performance.
Key Advantages
- Enhanced mechanical support and durability
- Improved filtration efficiency with reduced likelihood of defects
- Precise control over pore size in both outer and middle layers
- Applicable to both ceramic and polymer materials, offering versatility in fabrication
- Lower sensitivity to point defects, maintaining integrity under various conditions
Problems Addressed
- Manufacturing defects leading to compromised filter performance
- Inconsistent pore size and distribution in traditional membrane filters
- Limited material options for versatile filtration applications
- High sensitivity to defects, reducing the reliability of filtration systems
Market Applications
- Water purification and treatment systems
- Pharmaceutical manufacturing, particularly in sterile filtration
- Chemical processing requiring precise separation technologies
- Food and beverage industry for quality control and safety
- Aerospace and automotive industries for advanced filtration solutions
