Using Raw water in industry is an advantage, however, it has its challenges and difficulties too.Treating raw water is a complex process, though it seems to be a simple process prima facie. If, due consideration of seasonal deviation in water quality, understanding and foreseeing the errors in pre-treatment system, if not given, then the membrane … Read more
Extensive studies of membrane autopsies show the physical damage of the membrane, such as increased saltpassage, changes in flux, and so on. After studying innumerable membranes, we found silica plays a vital rolein most of the physical and irreversible damage of the membrane among the crystallized minerals.In such cases, the foulant composition contains silica at … Read more
CETP (common Effluent Treatment Plant) located in one of the well-known textile industry zones inGujarat has an RO Membrane system for treated water recycling. In, comparatively shorter span of In In two years, management has to replace all the membranes forcefully due to the deterioration of the productquality, quantity, and a rise in unscheduled CIP … Read more
Membranes are essential to the operation of water treatment systems, especially Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems. They assess a system’s capacity to eliminate impurities, pollutants, and dissolved salts. The repercussions of these membranes performing poorly, however, are expensive and include increased energy usage, frequent chemical cleaning, and early replacement. Numerous factors, including scaling, oxidation, mechanical stress, … Read more
Reverse Osmosis (RO) membrane technology was initiated and developed over four decades ago as a cost-effective method for seawater desalination. Since then, its application has expanded to wastewater reclamation, brine recovery, and zero-liquid discharge. These developments have introduced new types of fouling challenges, necessitating sophisticated chemical management strategies to preserve membrane integrity and optimize performance. … Read more
As clean water is a precious resource, the efficiency of water treatment processes has never been more critical. At the heart of many modern water purification systems lies membrane technology, a process that effectively separates contaminants from water. An integral component in maintaining the effectiveness of these systems is the practice known as membrane autopsy. … Read more
In the dynamic world of water treatment and separation processes, membrane technology plays a pivotal role through its efficiency and effectiveness. Utilizing semi-permeable membranes, this technology filters pollutants from water, separates mixtures, and enhances water purity across various applications, including municipal wastewater treatment, industrial desalination, and food and beverage processing. Unfortunately, even the most advanced … Read more
Reverse Osmosis (RO) membranes are semi-permeable membranes used to separate ions, unwanted molecules, and larger particles from drinking water. When water is forced through these membranes at high pressure, pure water is produced while contaminants are left behind. RO systems play a critical role in water purification across various applications, including drinking water treatment, desalination, … Read more
Membranes are critical components in water treatment systems, playing a vital role in filtration, desalination, and other processes. These systems are essential for providing clean water, yet their efficiency can deteriorate over time due to various factors. Maintaining the longevity of membrane systems and minimizing operational downtime is crucial for ensuring cost-effectiveness and system performance. … Read more
