The team wondered whether the mobula ray might inspire design improvements to industrial cross-flow filters. For that, they took a deeper dive into the dynamics of mobula ray filtration.

Studying the filter-feeding mechanism of mobula rays, MIT engineers developed a new design for industrial cross-flow water filters.

Current industrial cross-flow filters allow water to pass across a membrane, separating unwanted particles into a waste reservoir. The team’s mobula-inspired design could enhance this process by ...

It turns out the structure of ray plates is similar to industrial cross-flow filters, which are designed to push fluid across permeable membranes to extract particulates.

It’s a process based on cross-flow filtration that isn’t unknown to industrial engineers who use similar filters to generate turbulence to help wash away accumulating particles.

VA Filtration’s Lo-Cross-Flo mobile microfiltration system is a unique technology in that it is not actually a cross-flow filter system, but uses predominantly dead-end filtration to filter the ...

Camping water filters will keep you hydrated outdoors, but your offseason practices might be hurting them. Follow these storage tips to keep them working.
