The influence of degreasing agents used at car washes on the performance of ultrafiltration membranes
(1995) In Desalination 100(1-3). p.115-123- Abstract
- The influence of washing chemicals used at car washes on the flux and retention of three ultrafiltration (UF) membranes has been studied. Eleven commercial degreasing agents, two shampoo agents and a wax were included in the investigation. The membrane performance when treating waste water collected at a car wash at different times of the year was also studied. The retention of the different chemicals varied greatly, but there was no significant difference in COD retention among the three UF membranes. The highest flux was observed when treating the alkaline degreasing agents and the shampoo solutions. The flux and COD retention when treating the waste water from the car wash were 30-50 l/m(2) h and 60%, respectively. One of the... (More)

The flux and COD retention when treating the waste water from the car wash were 30-50 l/m(2) h and 60%, respectively. One of the low-retention degreasing agents was treated by nanofiltration (NF). The retention was significantly higher when using NF, but the COD concentration in the permeate was still too high to allow the permeate to be discharged without further treatment. (Less)
