Filtrate Flux Rate (mL/min/cm 2 ) = Filtrate Flow Rate (mL/min) / membrane area of 50 (cm 2 )
To convert mL/min/cm 2 to LMH
LMH = mL/min/cm 2 x [1liter/1000mL x 60min/h x 10,000cm 2 /1m 2 ] = mL/min/cm 2 x 600
Filtrate Flux Rate (LMH) = Filtrate Flux Rate (mL/min/cm
2
) x 600
Water Permeability (LMH/TMP) = Filtrate Flux Rate (LMH) / TMP
NWP (LMH/TMP @ 20 °C) = Filtrate Flux Rate (LMH) x Temperature Correction Factor (TCF) at operating temperature
