A method of designing reverse-osmosis equipment, on the basis of empirical correlations for the effects of concentration and flow hydrodynamics

Cleaning of Microfiltration Membranes for Filtration of Aqueous Extract of Marsh Mallow

“…The problems arising from membrane fouling started to be manifested in full measure upon accumulation of data on operation of industrial units [9]. Fouling with organic contaminants plays an especially significant role in filtration of macromolecular compounds, which can form a gel layer on the membrane surface [10].…”

“…Fouling with organic contaminants plays an especially significant role in filtration of macromolecular compounds, which can form a gel layer on the membrane surface [10]. Studies concerned with the problem of fouling are being conducted in various areas including development of cleaning methods [9]. Chemical cleaning involves treatment of filters with various agents, allowing regeneration of a membrane without disassembling of a membrane unit (cleaning-in-place) [11].…”
