MEMBRANE TECHNIC FOR POLLUTION REPRODUCTION AS AN STRATEGY FOR SAFE- WATER SUPPLY
Abstract
The membrane separation technology by relying on microfiltration ultrafiltration, and reverse osmosis methods are becoming more important among consulting engineers, designers of environmental pollution control system, and industrial factories. The advantages of this technology together with its emphasis on recycling the fluid to the system and reusing the membranes have caused the membranes to be utilized in many industrial applications. This paper describes the technical details of the membrane systems in relation to purifying the industrial pollutants and contaminants various applied examples will be presented. One of the most important examples is the reusing of the drinking water in the case of water shortage.
