This study was aimed to characterize the rejection of oil emulsion by two tubular surface filters, namely 13 μm slots and 4 μm circular pores. A 17 mm helix was incorporated inside the filters to increase the wall shear stress. Rejection of oil, throughputs and flux decay were measured at varying sh...
