Retentate stream
Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-010285
The portion of a feed solution that does not pass through a membrane or filter in a separation process, thus becoming concentrated in the components that are retained. This stream contains the larger molecules or particles that are excluded by the membrane. It is the opposite of the permeate stream.
