The production of bioethanol provides alcohol as well as a fermantation rest, that is called thin stillage. To treat this rest, evaporation is a very common technology to reduce the volume and use this for feeding animals. Evaporation requires a lot of energy and during this presentation, the successful use of ceramic membranes to treat this ?thin ...

Tubular ceramic membranes have been used for more than 20 years in a wide range of applications in the municipal and industrial sector. The presentation will provide several case studies including:Spring water filtration for the purpose of removing iron (using Kleansep membranes)Ultra-pure water production for the purpose of removaing pyrogenic su...

Nanostone Water has sucessfully retrofit a number of polymeric MF and UF water treatment plants with its CM-151 ceramic ultrafiltration module. The CM-151 was designed to be easily mounted on existing racks with minimal plant downtime and modifications....

The presentation will cover four topics. First, the author will discuss the features and basic differences between polymeric and ceramic membranes. The second topic will be a brief history of ceramic membranes, tracing the history from the 1st generation to the current (i.e., 5th) generation membranes that were developed and are produced and mark...

The Rueter-Hess Water Purification Facility (RHWPF) is a ceramic membrane facility with Actiflo? Turbo and Actiflo? Carb pre-treatment processes owned and operated by the Parker Water and Sanitation District (PWSD) with a nameplate design capacity of 10 million gallons per day (mgd). The RHWPF currently treats blended water consisting of local surf...

This presentation will introduce Meiden?s Ceramic Flat-Sheet Membrane's technical features and benefits. Actual installation experiences will be highlighted where we applied this membrane in several different filtration and MBR applications. This experience review will show the development of our ceramic flat-sheet membrane business and indicate ...

This presentation will describe two U.S. installations where a modified aluminum oxide membrane is being used to treat two very different waters: surface water for potable use, and wastewater for reuse. This ceramic membrane is ideal for the drinking water application because it has proven that it can last over 20 years without needing repair or re...

This presentation will provide an overview of the performance and advantages of using ceramic hollow fiber membrane technology in three different industrial wastewater applications. The first application will focus on meeting the water quality requirements for discharge and reuse in a commercial laundry facility. The second application will highl...

This presentation will discuss the case study where a ceramic membrane retrofit was completed for a full scale (26.4 MGD) drinking water treatment plant based on proof of concept and process verification testing. This particular plant targeted iron, manganese and radium removal utilizing ultrafiltration as RO pretreatment. However, the system exper...

The presentation will focus on the inherent benefits that Crystar FT recyrstallized silicon carbide (R-SiC) membranes have versus oxide membranes in crossflow configuration. The first part of the presentation will highlight inherent material advantages of Crystar FT R-SiC membranes vs oxide membranes, while the second part of the presentation will...
