In many regions, wastewater discharge from industrial sites must be greatly minimized or completely eliminated. To reduce energy and capital costs, multiple membrane are often included to maximize recovery of water. Two new, key membrane processes which have been developed for this are nanofiltration membranes which separate sulfate and chloride ...

This presentation will introduce the spectrum of membranes used in home, municipal, and industrial applications. The membranes types will be reverse osmosis, nanofiltration, ultrafiltration, microfiltration, and membrane bioreactors. We will highlight the attributes of each membrane type ranging from what is rejected to the pressures required to ac...
