Crude oil desalter effluent from a Tehran oil refinery was treated by a hybrid UF/RO membrane separation process. Ultrafiltration (UF) was used primarily to remove the emulsified oil droplets followed by the removal of total dissolved solids (TDS) via reverse osmosis (RO). The UF membrane was a hydr

In this study the effects of operating parameters on the ultrafiltration of metal working fluids were considered and the optimum conditions for filtration were estimated. In order to reduce the number of experiments an experimental design method (Taguchi) was applied. Seven parameters including pH,
