Direct membrane filtration (DMF) is a promising alternative secondary wastewater treatment process in Iceland, where biological not effective due to low strength nature and temperature. This study aims investigate fouling mechanisms mitigation approaches during DMF of municipal using crossflow system integrated with an optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging system. During wastewater, it was...

This fact sheet documents the waste reduction measures of a company located in central Illinois that manufactures metal components used in electrical and mechanical support systems. These include conduit, process piping, wiring race ways, and other electrical equipment. The company’s goals were to improve its paint line’s pretreatment cleaning performance and to reduce operating costs. To achie...

Nature-inspired technology has been investigated widely. Anti biofouling properties of fish scale inpired to improve membrane performance. Biofouling affects an oil-water separation membrane. The bacterial, coagulant, and hydrophobic oils attach the surface, demanding periodic cleaning. To overcome problems, surface modification materials are introduced namely superoleophobic surface. promises ...

Microalgae have attracted great interest for biofuel production, wastewater treatment, and CO2 capture from dilute sources, but its broad implementation is limited by the high energy consumption of algae dewatering. Membrane technology has emerged as a key process dewatering, performance restrained fouling organic matter in solutions, resulting low water permeance. This review presents state-of...
