Depth filtration is the process of separating suspended particles or liquid droplets using filters such as cartridges and capsules from its carrying fluid within the depth (thickness) of the medium. Depth filters use a porous filtration system to retain particles throughout the medium, rather than just on the surface like mesh filters and strainers. Depth filters are commonly used when the fluid to be filtered contains a high dirt load or where filter life needs to be extended. Compared with other types of filters, depth filters can retain a large mass of particles before getting clogged. _________________________ 1.Micromarkets are defined as the further segments and subsegments of the global depth filtration market included in the report. 2.Core competencies of the companies are captured in terms of their key developments and key strategies adopted to sustain their positions in the market.
