The purpose of this chapter is to provide the basic information on the use of membrane filtration and application of the technology in the design of potable water facilities. The main issues involved in the planning and design of membrane systems are covered: pilot testing; the considerations that influence system design and operation including operational unit processes, system design considerations, and residuals treatment and disposal; and the initial start-up phase which must be completed prior to placing the system into service and actual water production. The initial start-up phase is a critical step in the successful installation of a full-scale membrane filtration system and thus is an essential consideration in the facility planning and design process. This phase includes such tasks as initial system flushing and disinfection, system diagnostic checks, membrane module installation, integrity testing new equipment, and operator training, all of which must be completed prior to placing the system into service.

“…The general classification of membrane types in order of decreasing pore size is microfiltration (MF), ultrafiltration (UF), nanofiltration (NF) and RO. MF and UF membranes are used as an advanced water treatment process for removing particles including silt and pathogens [ 9 ], while RO and NF are typical processes for desalination of saline water (e.g., seawater). Figure 1 summarizes the application range of the typical membrane processes.…”

Nanocomposites for Improved Physical Durability of Porous PVDF Membranes

Current commercial polymer membranes have shown high performance and durability in water treatment, converting poor quality waters to higher quality suitable for drinking, agriculture and recycling. However, to extend the treatment into more challenging water sources containing abrasive particles, micro and ultrafiltration membranes with enhanced physical durability are highly desirable. This review summarises the current limits of the existing polymeric membranes to treat harsh water sources, followed by the development of nanocomposite poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) membranes for improved physical durability. Various types of nanofillers including nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes (CNT) and nanoclays were evaluated for their effect on flux, fouling resistance, mechanical strength and abrasion resistance on PVDF membranes. The mechanisms of abrasive wear and how the more durable materials provide resistance was also explored.

Membrane separation processes are based on the ability of semipermeable membranes of the appropriate physical and chemical nature to discriminate between molecules primarily on the basis of size and to a certain extent, on shape and chemical composition. A membrane's role is to act as a selective barrier, enriching certain components in a feedstream, and depleting the others. One of the chief attractions of membrane technology is the low energy requirement compared to other food processing technologies. Since membrane processes are nonthermal and do not involve a change of phases, they are energy-efficient and do not change the nature of the foods during their process operation. This chapter presents the membrane process theory and case histories of various production applications in the food industry. Operational problems and recommended engineering solutions for membrane process optimization are presented and discussed.
