The results of pilot testing of dual media filtration on seawater from an open intake in the Thermaikos Gulf, northern Greece, are presented in this study. Two different filter materials, FILTRALITE MC, a processed expanded clay material with particle range 1.5–2.5 mm, and anthracite coal with a sim

One of the critical issues for the successful application of ultrafitration in water treatment is membrane fouling due to dissolved organic matter, which negatively affects productivity, product quality and process cost. The aim of the present study is to contribute to the understanding of fouling p

Advanced membrane technology can significantly improve water management in large, land-locked power plants such as the Agios Dimitrios Power Station in Northern Greece. A review of the present water treatment facilities and of water requirements in this power station was carried out, to identify pot
