Hasn't Coors been doing something very similar for years?

1) "New Scientist" is to science as the "Enquirer" is to news.
2) A microporous filter with flow parallel to filtration woud
last about 10 seconds in use. It will be equally pluggd by
bioslime (glycocalyx) and denatured proteins in tangential
filtration.
3) Large cheap porcelain ultrafilters have been around since
Coors got it up the butt from Prohibition.
4) Kieselguhr (diatomaceous earth, Celite) is an **awesomely**
effective, inexpensive filter medium. It is the only thing in
the world that will remove activated carbon fines short of etched
membrane filters. All natural, too. Calcine it and use it
again. Or compact and recycle it as cat litter. (Let your cat
enjoy the flowing freshness of a Rocky Mountain butt wipe.)
