Determining the critical properties for the selection and optimisation of systems to evaluate filter integrity

This thesis examines two filter integrity tests: Forward Flow for hydrophilic membranes, FF, and Water Intrusion Testing for hydrophobic membranes, WIT. Liquid filters are high area and diffusive flow through fully water-wetted pores masks bulk flow from the smallest defects during FF, so an alterna...
