This presentation will discuss membrane filtration technologies. The variations in the technologies including polymer chemistry, pore size differences, flow configurations, and module format will be discussed. In addition the typical applications for these products will be included....

This paper describes the use of an integrated membrane system consisting Ultrafiltration (UF) and Reverse Osmosis (RO) filters treating raw river water that has been optimized by improving the operating sequence and cleaning conditions. The combined membrane process treats challenging surface water from Llobregat River (Barcelona, Spain) with occa...

Three of the most common membrane filtration products are offered as a proprietary system design which has limited interchangeability when membranes are replaced. Original Equipment Manufacturers have increased their participation in the low pressure membrane market using modules manufactured by different membrane manufacturers. Two approaches for ...
