Membrane Testing, Fouling, and Cleaning Studies

 

Objectives:

  • Help membrane manufacturers and processors to evaluate their new membranes (MF, UF, NF, and RO) for various applications
  • Perform fouling tests
  • Develop membrane cleaning procedures for individualized applications
  • Perform tests on new and used membranes
    • Total recycle optimization tests
    • Fouling curves
    • Cleaning tests
    • Concentration tests
  • Modify membranes for non aqueous applications
  • Evaluate stability of the membranes in non aqueous solvents such as:
    • Hexane, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, methanol .etc
