Improvement of operation modes of water treatment systems using baromembrane technologies

Abstract

The paper touches upon the issues connected with the solutions of the problems arising at operation of membrane installations for water preparation, in particular high water consumption for own needs. The reasons leading to their occurrence are analyzed in the article. A comparison of the performance of membrane systems against the calculated values is made. The influence of aging of membranes on water consumption for own needs is studied. The tests of a membrane element have been carried out on a laboratory installation, the results of which are used for the analysis of the chemical contamination. The options of solving the identified problems are proposed.
