Over tle last 7 years, a large research program has been initaed at Polytechnique Montreal to develop novel hybrid membrane processes (HMP) which combine high concentration PAC reactors with low poressure membranes. The conference will aim to summarize (i) the need for the devlopment of HMP for the water industry, (ii) the potential configurations ...

Nanofiltration (NF) membranes represent a technology that is well suited for high-quality drinking water production from source waters with high concentrations of natural organic matter (NOM) or other contaminants. However, the application of these membranes is limited, mainly because of the challenges related to system complexity and cost. The aim...

The characteristics of NOM fouling and chemical cleaning of ceramic membranes during water treatment is an area that has not been researched in depth. The specific fraction of NOM foulants that are primarily responsible for long-term irreversibility are still not well understood.Extent of NOM fouling for ceramic membranes need to be identified. In ...
