Book descriptionThe only book on the topic: the 'gold standard' on non-wovens
The increasing use of nonwoven filter media is due in part to their versatility: they are used in filtration of liquids (aqueous and organic), and gases. They find wide scale applications in air filtration, water filtration, and engine oil and fuel filtration applications.
The intent of this book was to provide the reader with a balance of fundamental theories and practical advice on all aspects of nonwoven filter media from the manufacturing process to the wide range of applications. It describes in detail the properties and classifications of nonwoven filter media ensuring that the correct medium is used in each application. It is an important reference for all involved in nonwoven filter media from technical managers to manufacturers. The book is technical in nature. It does not provide marketing or economic information on nonwoven filter media.
