[ 1 ] - Physical Backwash Optimization in Membrane Filtration Processes: Seawater Ultrafiltration Case

Seawater ultrafi ltration (UF) as a pretreatment of reverse osmosis (RO) process in a thermal power plant was investigated using a 100 kDa hollow fi ber membrane. The choice of the UF physical backwash conditions remains arbitrary or ensuing from a sensibility study. As the optimum must take into account the factors interactions, we led a response surface study to analy...
