High-Flux Membrane Filtration For Oil And Water Separation

By James Peters, PPG

Environmental regulations and water scarcity have created a need for economical water treatments that increase reuse. This paper will review the new PPG membrane that has a unique composite single-layer microstructure that provides high-flux, excellent separation capabilities and exceptional durability to improve the filtration and recovery of industrial wastewater.

Specifically, this document will detail the intrinsic properties of the PPG membrane, compare performance in relation to competitive membranes, and review three case studies that quantify the performance of the membrane in lab-scale to commercial-sized filters, on a variety of industrial wastewaters.
