Ultrafiltration is a modern technology used for the production of drinking water. Current research in this area focus on the reduction of production costs through the development of innovative plants. The aim of this work is to study ways to limit the fouling of hollow fibre membranes during dead-en

1.5 g/L 0.3 g/L Fig. 4. Profile of the deposit at the end of filtrations. Moreover local informations on cake properties will be discussed in relation with global parameters like irreversible resistance and specific cake resistance versus the operating conditions. Comparison of global and local spec

The aim of this work is to develop a predictive control algorithm to improve the productivity of an ultrafiltration pilot plant producing drinking water from surface raw water. The objective is to avoid irreversible fouling, that means to get a constant quality of the membrane after backwash and at

Air sparging has shown to be very efficient for flux enhancement in different membrane processes and for different membrane geometries. This study focuses on the application of air sparging to nanofiltration flat sheet membranes and aims to understand which hydrodynamic parameter is responsible for
