Membrane Process Optimization: Chemistry & Analytical Techniques

Optimizing membrane performance has always involved looking at operations, system design, and process design as part of a typical troubleshooting approach. There are significant advancements in the realm of system diganostics and membrane perfomance analysis that further ensure an accurate and reliable outcome. This presentation will review how membrane chemistry and membrane analytical tools are used to improve RO and UF/MF membrane plant performance including: autopsies using chromatic elemental imaging (CEI), and the Black Box.
