Abstract
This work reports a new strategy for the separation, concentration and enrichment of targeted particle size fractions from wide particle size distribution environmental samples at possibly record setting throughput levels of 1litre/minute. The method uses a novel strategy for the stacking of devices which employs a pressure distributing manifold, axially rotated by 90° from the plane of device stacking to ensure near uniform flow conditions throughput the stack. The process of manufacture for the presented system is simplified and may be configured to accommodate a target flow rate by granularly changing the number of layers and size of interstitial spacing.
