On Wikipedia a lot of things is mentioned about filtration but nothing is mentioned about it type

Filtration is of two type

(a) dead-end filtration also known as direct filtration and (b) cross-flow filtration also known as tangential flow filtration.

In dead-end filtration the flow causes the build-up of the filter cake, which may prevent efficient operation. This is avoided in cross-flow filtration where the flow sweeps the membrane surface clean.

The question is: Does this subject need an article on its own? In its actual status, the article isn't that helpful to an encyclopedia. Have you thought about contributing to the articles about filtration instead? -- Iván Sánchez^(talk) 14:32, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
