Membrane concepts : From drinking water preparation to wastewater treatment

Lipnizki, Frank LU orcid and Hey, Tobias LU (2023) 4th International Conference for Membrane Technology & Its Applications
Abstract
Membrane processes are widely used for desalination and wastewater treatment worldwide. In this presentation we will review some interesting membrane concepts which are either currently used or are under development.
The initial focus will be on drinking water preparation from lake and river water and desalination of brackish water which are well established in Sweden. Furthermore, new will be presented which converts industrial wastewater and brackish water to drinking water. Regarding wastewater, the latest developments of membrane bioreactors and direct membrane filtration will be presented.
Finally, we will discuss two new concepts related to the European projects: REWAISE and DESOLINATION. In the REWAISE project, a new... (More)

Regarding wastewater, the latest developments of membrane bioreactors and direct membrane filtration will be presented.
Finally, we will discuss two new concepts related to the European projects: REWAISE and DESOLINATION. In the REWAISE project, a new concept for rain- and stormwater harvesting with ultrafiltration will be developed, while in the DESOLINATION project a new desalination concept will be established using forward osmosis and membrane distillation (MD).
Overall, the presentation will show that membrane concepts are well established in water treatment and new concepts are under development.
