Dynamic Improvements In Low Pressure Membranes And System Design
1/20/2016
We are programmed to believe that the word “fouled” is inherently bad, identifying something that is dirty, unclean, or contaminated. But for those of us in the membrane industry, the physical presence of “foulants” simply confirms that our treatment was necessary and that our process is successfully producing a more pristine effluent.

How To Handle Faster Membrane Fouling
1/8/2016
New membranes are being equipped with the ability to handle higher flux operation, utilizing technology that allows for low transmembrane pressure, high salt rejection, and the wherewithal to take on more water. But the more a membrane is asked to do, the faster it will become fouled.
