Due to ongoing industrialization and scarcity of water, filtration is becoming increasingly important. Filter media should be easily available, cheap and have good retention capacity. String wound cartridges fulfil these requirements.

A Guide to Filtration with String Wound Cartridges explains the science behind winding phenomena with reference to the use of string wound cartridges in various environments and is helpful in guiding aspiring researchers and technicians in this field.

The book provides detailed information about cartridge winding parameters, the number of layers to be put on the cartridge, the retention capacity and pressure drop. Depending on the particle size that should be arrested, the filter fabric/cartridge is manufactured. The book gives guidelines regarding the winding variables to be chosen in order develop cartridges with specific porosity aimed to trap the different particle sizes.

• All data and conclusions are based on actual experimental work
• Provides explanations for why winding parameters influence the performance of wound cartridges
• Describes problems encountered during cartridge formation and during its use in filter testing
