Ultrafiltration (UF)

Three different water treatment ultrafiltration (UF) pilot plants were investigated to treat algae-rich reservoir water. Coagulation, coagulation–sedimentation and coagulation–sedimentation–filtration were applied prior to UF respectively. Based on the permeate water quality and the specific flux of

The use of ultrafiltration (UF) is receiving more attention for drinking water treatment, but its fouling remains a problem. Reservoir water was selected as raw water during pilot study. Worldwide drinking water reservoirs may contain algae, which pose a threat to drinking water treatment. UF membra

In the ultrafiltration (UF) of disperse dye solutions using ceramic membrane, backflushing is necessary to minimize the formation of fouling by disperse dye, and to enhance the permeate flux. In this work, the effects of backflushing on the ultrafiltration performance and decolorization were investi

One of the largest seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination plants in the world commissioned at Addur, Kingdom of Bahrain survived the numerous obstacles that brought down the plant’s production capacity to its lowest level. The drastic production loss, ever increasing heavy chemical cleaning pr
