This book is written as the book one wants to read when first starting the study of filtration. This book is intended for the person who has some technical background outside of filtration, and who now wants to "get his feet wet" in this subject This book is also for the "old filtration hand" who, while he has some experience in some special field of filtration, may now want to step back and see a larger view. And it is intended as a vehicle for sorting out and explaining words and phrases that appear in technical and advertising literature. The incentive to write this book comes from the author s experience, as a charter member of ASTM s Committee F21 on Filtration, as chair of the subcommittee on liquid filtration (for 15 years), and as an instigator of the 1986 symposium on filtration sponsored by ASTM.

In addition to data gathering, QA will want the validation batches made entirely by the production department. When this stipulation is satisfied, it will be demonstrated that the process control is independent of the technical background of the operating personnel. This kind of approach demonstrates that the manufacturing process will support the soon-to-be-marketed product s volume demands. This approach also allows QA to have a baseline activity with which it can compare future audit activities. 

This Section presents basic definitions and concepts necessary to undertake a detailed discussion of waste classification (more detailed technical background is provided in Section 3). It also describes the scope of this Report to indicate why further discussion of a number of issues that are important to waste classification is not required because they are outside the scope of this study.
